I have known the Pina family for over 20 years now and all decisions are joint ones and are decided upon by all members of the family. <br />The fact that you didnt see Andrea and Fausto was most likely due to the fact that they were 'busy' or maybe even away..<br />If you had any idea of the structure of the business, then you would know that..<br />Hence just brag about your bikes, get off on that and dont act as if you know everything after a few days...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-172202953319134786.post-47550475127744032632010-12-16T09:02:18.540-08:002010-12-16T09:02:18.540-08:00Fantastic!

The Pinarello family was so warm and welcoming to us during our visit. This was my first time at the factory and the experience was truly surreal. Walking through the large, open space.. touching the raw carbon meticulously stacked in the prep area, seeing the walls lined with Pinarello Bicycles in an array of colors and models as the Pinarello employees (all of which have worked for the family for 20+ years) worked diligently to ensure every decal, brake line and finished bicicletta was deserving of the Pinarello name. Bravo Pinarello and a heartfelt 'grazie mille' to my husband for his recall of the visit!

Same with CycleItalia - when we arrive at a new hotel or eating place, the men exchange greetings and then shoot the breeze over a caffe, glass of vino, grappa, etc. while the women do the serious business. The Pinarello folks put some effort into encouraging folks to ride these bicycles rather than just buy and collect them with their Gran Fondo and cycling club(s).
