If that's the case maybe showing people example(s) where one can spend a lot less for less weight would be helpful?
Don't know about anyone else but boat anchor paints a pretty awful picture!

Bike is a mix. Good sounding, Italian brand name (but probably made mostly in Taiwan), Advanced features that have little to do with speed, like electronic shifting and disc brakes, surprisingly heavy for 3k+ CF bike.
The show stopper is the wheelset, cheap (~300), very cheap for 3k+ bike. I would rather have no disc brakes and mechanical shifting and top notch wheelset. For that reason, definitely PASS.

ultegra down to 105 for the price of getting di2 is how I look at the groupset compromise, another excellent choice given how good todays 105 is ... and how much I value di2, the speed, so much nicer uphill, so nice not fiddling with derauleur adjustments.
I think I WAS helpful providing my unbiased POV, arguments and even links. I am an avid rider and reasonably knowledgeable about bikes specs and prices, though my personal interest in bikes cuts off around 1.5k where I still see value and not social status symbol, or compensation for something unrelated to road cycling.
If you don't agree with my POV please provide your own argumentation, that would BE helpful.
As an avid cyclist, you should know that your "unbiased POV" isn't "helpful" at all to anyone let alone whether this is a slickdeal for anyone or not.
As an avid rider with reasonably knowledgeable about bikes specs and prices.
It would be much more helpful to offer a comparable bike "link(s)" at this price and let others determine whether it's a good deal to them, not an avid cyclist on SD imo!
A hardcore cyclist or someone looking to ride with pro riders is going to need to spend at least 3x that amount to get the top spec bikes that are in the 6-7kg range.
So I'm still fat. But I have money to spare elsewhere 🤣.
Seriously though, bodyweight is a very big factor on the overall power-to-weight ratio. If you are already 2% body fat rider and have nowhere else to turn to for performance gain then go for the best of the best components. At that point though, you'd probably already be a pro and not have to pay for your bikes anymore.
This is a really good deal IMHO if you are looking for a race bike. I paid a few hundred dollars less for a Motobecane CF Gravel Bike with SRAM AXS a couple years ago, but it does look like BikesDirect prices have dropped backed to reality so a comparable unbranded bike should be around $1,000 less now.
So the question comes down to whether you buy an Italian branded Taiwanese bike for $3500 or buy a similar generic Taiwanese bike for $1-2000 less. I think if you genuinely want to get into road racing, this is a better bike as Pinarello is more likely to have done the aerodynamics research to shave off some wattage vs. the generic bikes. For me the branding is a downside as I live in an area where I don't want my bike screaming "take me, I'm expensive", I definitely wouldn't take this on the train like I do with my Motobecane.
Each spring I'd race in a sprint triathlon held at a YMCA in my town. A 300m pool swim, 25K (15.5m) hilly bike on roads, and a 5K run on a paved path.
I'd rack my bike and look around at a wide assortment of everything from mountain bikes to full-carbon Tri bikes.
Quite often these 18lbs or less Tri bikes were already racked up with not one, but TWO full water bottles for the race! Again 15.5mi round trip! Lol!
As a slow swimmer, my start time would lag theirs, so their bikes were typically gone before I got to mine. But biking was my thing, and I passed most all of them, noticing while racking my bike to start the run all the still empty spots. Let's hope they stayed properly hydrated!
Most of them probably passed by me on the 5K run, I admit. A few even called out "ding ding" doing so, as payback, which I liked!

um, why does someone down vote your remark? maybe they think 3 grand is cheap enuf to crack.......like 'oh well'. wise up please. your welcome.
1. Carbon fiber be it a lower grade.
2. Internal cable routing
3. Electrical shifter. I would prefer the SRAM.
4. Hydraulic disc breaks.
5. Less than 20lbs
6. Below $4,000
I would love to have carbon wheels, but nothing in this price range with the above requirements. Closes is the Cervelo Caledonia Rival AXS w/ Carbon wheels. However, that doesn't have internal cable routing and a bit heavier for $4000.
I would appreciate it if you have any recommendation. I can still cancel my order.
Thank you.
I guarantee this is not true. Anyone can tell the difference between electronic shifting and mechanical. It might not be worth the cost to you, but it's very obvious.
I would agree the same on Shimano 105. But this is 105 di2 which of course would be priced $300-500 more than it's mechanical version. I would prefer it over Sram as the battery on the shifters have no way to be charged. You just have to have CR2032's lying around, which are usually the most annoying to find in a pinch.
