We manged to get our hands on a few FP7 framesets that Pinarello had built for photo and marketing purposes. All in perfect working order and like-new, the opportunities are several. Perfect replacement of older frameset or as a ground-up build to rival many modern bikes. The FP7 comes with a full manufacturer's warranty and complete package includes: FP7 carbon frame, Onda FP carbon fork, Pinarello integrated headset, MoST 31.8mm carbon seatpost. The frameset has fitment for 25c tires using standard rims, and requires a 31.6mm front derailleur clamp and Italian thread bottom bracket. Due to the vintage of the FP7, there is no internal electric routing, so we'd recommend this frame for mechanical shifting only.

The FP7 carried the lofty reputation of the Pinarello Paris- with a carbon made from the same mold that created the fine monocoque frameset the pro's had been using, but with a step down in carbon fiber to 46HM 3K material that delivered a ride that was more supple, but still powerful and responsive. The frameset carries the asymmetric design that Pinarello made famous- and which has evolved into the F10 system today. With excellent power transfer, impeccable balance, and sure, stable handling, the FP7 is just as efficient power along the flats and assaulting the descent as it as mastering the descent or the chaos of a mass sprint. It is a great all around design. Pinarello spec'ed the frame with a 46HM 3K Onda FPK 1⅛ - 1¼" tapered fork and headtube. The rear stays also get the Onda FPK treatment, serving to ensure lateral stiffness and drive power while mitigating vibration from the rear wheel.

The FP7 features a 31.6mm seatpost, 34.9 front derailleur clamp zone, MOst Croxover Italian thread bottom bracket interface, internal rear brake routing, and drop outs for 100m front and 130mm rear hubsets with quick release levers. The max tire size is 700x25, mounted on rims with 17mm max internal width.
