Grevil F Clone Build
« on: November 29, 2024, 06:49:18 PM »
Hi

I am planning a Grevil F clone build and will post my progress here.

Attached photos of the frame I am purchasing and also, a photo of (hopefully) the end result.

Any tips or feedback along the way would be much appreciated !

Thanks

Cringe
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.

Its probably a solid frame. The cringe part is trying to pass it off as a real pinarello.

Indeed.
But if it's coming from taiwan eisen bike store, they're on my black list. I would reconsider if they can prove they use EPS moulding on this model, but even then, i'd go with Peter's version that way you know you're getting a sound frame, and definitely dont get a fake; get a clone. If you like the paint job, get the paint job without the logo, and write pizzaiolo instead, be a man. Or write nothing. If you want to ride a literal pinarello, buy a pinarello. if you can't afford one, don't pretend you can, it's cringe, and happens to be illegal too in most jurisdictions.

 I almost bought Peters but I prefer a narrower frame (30-40mm tires) Was going to rip off their font but some other wording. I have 2 other real Pinarellos, a Prince and a Opera that was new in 2001 but I couldn't stomach the price of one these days.

This will fit 55c tires in a 1x setup. My air wolf Grevil clone does. I have a thread here also detailing my build and experience.
