Pinarello releases Chris Froome Dogma F8 signature collection

Here's your chance to own Chris Froome's Pinarello Dogma F8 Tour de France winning bike in a choice of colours

Italian bicycle manufacturer Pinarello is celebrating its 11th Tour de France win, the latest with Chris Froome's victory in the 2015 edition, by releasing a replica collection of the custom painted "rhino" Dogma F8 that the Briton ride into Paris at the weekend.

The DOGMA F8 - TDF2015! - Carbon T11001K - 869 Rhino Paris, to use its full name, has a predominantly yellow paint finish with the word Froomey written across the top tube and a rhino adorning the head tube, a nod to Froome’s Kenyan roots but also to show his support for Unite for Wildlife, a charity that was set up to put an end to the illegal wildlife trade.

And if yellow isn’t your colour, fear not, Pinarello is offering the same design in a wide range of colour options, including blue, red, black and more, each with colour matched seatposts, saddles and bar tape. The equipment build remains unchanged. There's also a polka dot version as well, because of course Froome won that jersey as well as the yellow.

Chris Froome's Team Sky Pinarello Dogma F8

Talking of equipment, the bike is built with pretty much identical equipment to that used by Team Sky. A Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset is complemented with Dura-Ace C50 carbon fibre clincher wheels and Vittoria Corsa CX tyres, and a PRO aluminium stem and handlebar.

A regular Dura-Ace chainset replaces the Osymetric chainrings that Chris Froome uses. A Pinarello aero seatpost is painted in matching colours and so is the Fizksaddle. There’s also yellow bar tape and a set of Dura-Ace SPD-SL pedals to complete the package.

This is the first Tour de France win for Pinarello’s latest Dogma F8, the eighth generation of the Dogma, and the first to be influenced by aerodynamics. The previous Team Sky wins in France were aboard the previous Dogma 65.1. Pinarello worked with Team Sky partner Jaguar to develop the aero profiles of the F8 and put it through wind tunnel testing.

As well as improved aerodynamics, the new F8 shaves up to 120g from the frame weight compared to the old Dogma 65.1 and ramps up the stiffness factor. Despite such a radical makeover, the frame sticks with a traditional Italian threaded bottom bracket.

We don’t have a price for this new bike, but with a regular F8 frameset costing £3,895, don’t expecting it to be approaching anything evening remotely affordable.

It may save us about a minute on a 60mile sportive, but net a hefty profit for Mr Pinarello! No thanks.  103

There is a black Dogma in the window of The Bike Room, Deansgate in Manchester. As I walked by pretending not to look again, I overheard a guy say to his mates, "Ere, look at this Darth Vader bike." Impressive.

Very nice! and I could claim that the F8 stood the depth of fat on my body (mm or cm?) and therefore justify the ownership, on the grounds that it had specifically been designed for fat blokes. I certainly do not have the ability to justify the ownership.

The tag line is 'still us - no one like us'

Not sure I have read one comment about anyone disliking Pinarello and most comments been positive about the Dogma.

As this has no Sky branding seems a bit weird

KOM one looks as nice as you can get an F8 to look. £3895 for a mass produced frame is way ott. You go on about research and develpoment costs etc but at the end of the day it's just a different mold for the carbon on the production line.

Cipo all the way!

Was I the only person to misread the Pinarello slogan in the top left of each picture as 'Still nobody likes us'?

Perfect for overweight fund managers in their full Team Sky Rapha gear for riding around Surrey.

I know plenty of fund managers who are far from overweight - mainly because they cycle so much! Dumb comment to make.

I like the black with yellow highlights version although I'm not sure I'd want "FROOMEY" permanently plastered on the top tube!

I think the Dogma is a brilliant looking bike and if I had to buy another top bike it would be up there with a Canyon. There again my Izalco Max is the dogs bollocks and frankly far better value !

As cheesy yellow TDF bikes go, I think Pina did a good job with this one. I would even go so far as to say I like it.

However I'm not about to rush out and buy one....

Not sure about those "rules"... But this would definitely make me quicker.

Not only would I have a better bike, but after my Mrs had cut of my bits in my sleep, I'd be able to get more aero!
