Pinarello Dealer Experience 2026

[stompandgo]

Next month, I was invited to attend the Pinarello Dealer Experience in Treviso, Italy. It is three days of bike nirvana, including a factory tour, a new product line launch, a dealer trade showcase, and finishes up with a ride on one of the new bikes in the Dolomites. Analog only. It's going to hurt. I need base miles, but it's been tough balancing the home construction work with long rides. C'est la vie.

I am very curious about the future of the Nytro. Will they build a HPR40 lightweight e-road bike? Will they build more HPR60 bikes, and for what market? Are the rumours of an HPR90 true, and will they build anything around that? I may not get any answers, but it won't hurt to ask.

I'll post any pictures that I am allowed to post.

Cin cin.

Have a wonderful stay!

No free IPA's for me.

The food and beverages in Italy seem to be less expensive than they are in Poland

And... It is wine in Italy!

 

[stompandgo]

I don't drink wine.

 

[Stefan Mikes]

Grappa? Fernet Branca?

Enjoy!
If you've never been, the simplicity, freshness and flavor of the food will be worth the trip in itself.
Far more than any alcohol.. find an authentic gelato bar. The richness and depth of the flavor without being overly sweet is my Achilles heal when I visit.

Shame it wasn't during the Giro. Especially being Pinarello! Jealous though, some trip.

I went to Florence and Venice almost 10 years ago to visit my youngest son while he was studying abroad for a semester. We stayed at VRBO B&B's. The one in Florence, where my son was studying, and staying at host housing, had a rooftop terrace that looked right into the windows of the upper section of the Duomo. The one I found in Venice was a couple of blocks from St. Mark's and was on a canal. We would have cocktails and talk to the gondoliers. There were so many great things I loved about that trip, but #1 was chicchetti. Italian tapas. Walking from pub to pub, drinking and snacking. It doesn't get any better than that.

Grappa? Fernet Branca?

Maybe one after dinner. I don't drink hard liquor other than an occasional tequila shot or margherita. Just beer. Maybe if I'm lucky, there will be a Brewdog close by.

I bet it was all hands on deck for race support.

I'm flying Condor Airlines economy. Does anyone have anything I should know about them?

I haven't flown them. But it is a German/European airline, so they probably have different bag size and weight limits than a US airline if you are planning to bring a carry on bag. International economy isn't going to be fun no matter how you slice it. And make sure your passport is valid for at least another six months. Mine just expired and I need to renew it. I like to carry a Kindle for reading these days instead of stuffing a bunch of paperbacks in my bag. Noise cancelling headphones are always good too. I have some older Bose noise cancelling earbuds that pack small and work decently.

I'll check the bag regulations. We will be checking one and have one carry on. It is a red eye flight so I'm not too concerned about comfort. I rarely sleep well on planes. I have an eye mask, earbuds, and earplugs for sleep. My passport and Global Entry were renewed last year. Condor seems to follow the Southwest Airlines model. You can pay to reserve a seat, or check in 24 hours before scheduled departure and get what's left. That's me.

I don't Google anything.

I'm not sure where the hotel is.

Take advice from the locals. . .
