Is MEILENSTEIN making toroidal wheels yet, or are they still all V-shaped? I know their first disc wheels (finally!) were V-profile.
I feel like putting V-profile wheels on a bike from 2017 is strange. Anachronistic. Maybe it'd make sense on a Colnago C60 with a straight top tube?
I like V-shaped wheels when my rides start and end in a wind tunnel. I don't like them nearly as much for roads that have curves. :/

Sorry, what sounds like a lot of BS? That I don't like falling over in crosswinds?
I wasn't ragging on MEILENSTEIN at all, T-Mog. I was genuinely asking if you knew if they were making toroidal profile wheels yet. I have no problem with V-profile wheels if you like them, and I enjoy your posts.
Ain't no BS. Just a real question.

It is still setting up here in my office in pieces as bikes are on a back burner for awhile with some of my other hobbies and interests in the fore front..! Will post pictures of it when i get it built here sometime in the near future...Still deciding also on what set of wheels to put on it..!

I'd like to encourage you to do more thorough research.
The European Union allows for something to be marked as "made in Italy" if the final stages of manufacturing are performed there, provided those stages have an economic impact on the product. So final assembly, painting, etc. allows them to mark a bike as " made in Italy".
That is much different from manufacturing the frame.

Because clearly Italy can't make anything out of carbon fiber, that's only done in Taiwan...

Just not by Pinarello.
Colnago, however, does manufacture their C60 in Italy (from raw Japanese fiber), if you want a truly Italian-made bike.

Pinarello is a "ITALIAN BIKE"...

Close.
Pinarello is an Italian company.
Pinarello makes an "Italian" bike.
It appears you are correct.
So there you go. At least Colnago constructs the frame in Italy. Pinarello probably does some design there, maybe even has an oven for laying up prototypes, but the F10's frame isn't made in Italy.
