Behind the Scenes at Cycle 360<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing we enjoy more than turning a customer\u2019s brief into a finished bike that looks, rides, and feels spot on. This time, Brad was on build duties for a stunning custom road setup centred around the Pinarello F9<\/strong> \u2013 a bike that punches well above its price point when built smartly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal was simple: deliver a high-performance road bike to a clear budget, without cutting corners where it really matters. The result? A clean, fast, and thoroughly modern build that came in under \u00a35.5k<\/strong> all in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The frameset: race DNA without the Dogma price tag<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Pinarello F9 sits just one step below the iconic Pinarello Dogma F<\/strong>, sharing much of the same design philosophy and aerodynamic shaping. Built from T900 UD carbon<\/strong>, the frame offers an ideal balance of stiffness, low weight, and long-distance comfort \u2013 perfect for riders who want race-ready performance without going full superbike on the budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internal cable routing, classic Pinarello handling, and that unmistakable Italian silhouette make the F9 a seriously tempting frameset for custom builds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Groupset: Shimano Ultegra Di2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To keep shifting crisp, reliable, and race-sharp, we paired the frameset with Shimano Ultegra Di2<\/strong>. Electronic shifting at this level delivers near-flagship performance with minimal maintenance and flawless consistency, whether you\u2019re sprinting, climbing, or ticking off winter miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultegra Di2 remains one of the best value groupsets on the market, and it fits this build perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wheels: Newmen Streem A.54 Vonoa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rolling duties are handled by the Newmen Streem A.54 Vonoa<\/strong> wheels. With a deep 54 mm profile, these wheels bring serious aero gains while staying light and responsive enough for real-world riding. They complement the F9\u2019s aero focus beautifully and help give the bike its fast, purposeful stance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final result<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The finished bike is a great example of how thoughtful component choices can unlock top-tier performance without blowing the budget. Clean lines, proven tech, and a setup tailored exactly to the rider \u2013 that\u2019s what custom builds are all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
