I’ve got the chance to get a hardly used Pinarello Marvel and will test ride it soon.
From its colour scheme it’s the 2014 model.
I tried doing research on this bike but there seem to be hardly any reviews.
Does anyone know why this might be - was it sold for a short period or something.
Does anyone have one or has ridden one and can give me a quick review.
I’m not bothered about the wheels as my Hunt Aero will be put on it.
This will be my first carbon bike - I’m coming from a 2012 Giant Defy 1 - and I’m not sure if my expectations of the change will leave me underwhelmed or if it will blow my socks off or even that it might show all the frailties of me as a rider because I can’t tell the difference.
If it’s the latter I might as well buy a 2015 Wilier Gran Tourismo I’ve got an eye on at about half the price, so as a bike is the Pinarello really going to be that much better?
