Check out MarkCavendish's 2012 Pinarello_com Dogma 2 – the bike he rode to three historic letour stage victories in the year that teammate SirWiggo won overall cycling
Mark Cavendish has announced that this year will be his last in the pro peloton and he’ll go out with at least 34 Tour de France stage wins to his name; let’s check out the Pinarello Dogma that he rode to three of those victories in 2012.
The Dogma 2 was made from Toray’s 60HM1K carbon fibre and the Onda fork was made from the same material, coming with a tapered 1 1/8in to 1 1/2in steerer for a little extra stiffness compared to a straight steerer. There’s a lot going on at the front end with Cavendish opting for his own signature edition of Pro’s Vibe Carbon Sprint Stem and handlebar. Well, you would, wouldn’t you? The massively oversized stem was unidirectional carbon fibre while the bar was 7050 alloy with internal ribs for reinforcement, keeping things stiff on that final sprint to the line.
You can see that there are small holes cut in the tape for the auxiliary shifters, allowing Cav to change gear easily while sprinting out of the saddle with his hands down on the drops....as did rainbow details on the bottle cages. If you’ve ever wondered how a rider gets special wheels when they’re leading a particular classification, it’s simple stickers applied by a tired mechanic the night before the next day’s stage.
