Sit back and let Pinarellos President, and son of the bikemakers founder Fausto Pinarello tell how the bike came to be. It was a watershed moment for the brand. And the for then 33-year-old Fausto who had shifted from his role in finishing Pinarello bikes to a leadership role securing pro sponsorships, and just lured Indurins Banesto team back onto Pinarello bikes.(Photos/Pinarello)The Espada developed so quickly as the Pinarello team ran with the idea to create a truly innovative bike bringing in outside experts for their first wind tunnel testing, complete aero-led design, and first-ever carbon frame.
