PINARELLO DOGMA F MY25 DURA-ACE Di2

I realized that the rest of my life was not long any more when I had colectomy in the end of June of last year.　So, I thought that I should buy a PINARELLO DOGAM F in order not to regret. And I made a dicision as the sore manager of Firstbikes International also proposed me to buy one, just in time.
It's been an year after ordering, and the bike finally arrived!!!

PINARELLO PRINCE FX DISC ULT Di2    Year 2022 model

I suddenly realized that I had been riding SCOTT S10 for almost 16 years. So, I visited a bike shop, Firstbikes International, closest to the company I worked for to get a new one. I decided to buy a PINARELLO PRINCE FX after talking with the shop manager and spending a couple of days to think.

At the biginning, I was to build a new bike myself, but I decided to buy a new bike. Because, I found that the technologies used for bikes had been totally renewed while I was riding SCOTT S10 peacefully for 16 years and that it would be not easy to gain the skills to build a bike by myself. I will gradually learn the technologies and skills so as to maintain the bike myself.

PINARELLO PRINCE FX with Shimano WH-R9270-C36-TL

I had planed the weight reduction of PINARELLO PRINCE FX sice last year, and emailed to the PRO shop Firstbikes International, where I bought the PINARELLO PRINCE FX, early this month。　I have had many advices this time too and have got a suticfying wheel at last!

The weight of PINARELLO PRINCE FX in defualt is 8.8[kg], which I had been feeling something dull or slow in reaction. The biggest cause was obviously the wheels. So, I wanted to change them with better ones.
The weight of the original wheels, including tires, brake discs, and the Cassette, is about 3.3+[kg] in total of the front and the rear. The weight of the new ones, including tires, brake discs, and the Cassette, is about 2.5-[kg] in total. I could reduce the weight more than 800[g] only with changing wheels! You can feel the weight difference when lift them up.
Now, the weight of PINARELLO PRINCE FX is 8.0[kg]

GIANT IGUANA     === Year 2003 model (probably) ===

29 July 2002 - I bought it.

For some reason, I bought MTB suddenly although I was a road-bike rider.
I have changed some components so as to make it fit for riding on roads since I am going to use it for commuting and training.

Although, I rode the bike leaving handle-bar original for a few days, I fonud that the width was too wide for riding on roads. So, I chopped it off about 1.8" both side.

In July 2005, I gave it away to Yuri-chan who lived next door of the flat I used to live when I was in Sydney.

TREK 5200 with MAVIC HELIUM

I was hitten by a stupid car on 22 Oct. 1999. The car suddenly turned to the left to go into a petrol station, hit me, and the front wheel bent cruelly. Althought I could ride back to home, I relized that it was hopeless afterward. I ventured to buy a pair of HELIUM. Although I wanted cheeper ones, the shop I went had only expensive ones, unfortunately.

TREK 5200 with MAVIC OPEN Pro (only rear wheel)

The rear wheel was bent sadly on a crash when I was riding in a club banch on 05 Aug. 2001. I changed a rim and spokes. The new rim is MAVIC OPEN Pro.





TREK 5200 with SHIMANO WH-R550

On 05 August 2005, I changed both wheels with SHIMANO WH-R550 since the old MAVIC ones were already worn out.

CLAMONT (Steel Frame)

I bought this bike in Nov. 1987 at a bike shop in Sydney, Australia. The maker seems to be CLAMONT. Looking at me, a clerk at the bike shop said that this was made in Japan! Well... was it true? I asked the owner of the shop to assemble equipments so that I would be able to ride across Australia. The bike was for turing; it was heavy but strong.

I sold it away in October 1999, though I was deeply attached to since I had ridden for more than 12 years.
I had changed the wheels twice. The first time was when I was riding across Australia. A spoke of the rear wheel broke every day when I was riding from Adelaide to Canberra after riding over 2000km carrying over 20kg luggage. I wanted to fix it. But there was no town. And finally, the wheel crashed. The second time was after I came back to Japan. A man at a bike shop said that the frame was a bit bent. It seemed very natural after hard riding in Australia.
