James Huang Flecha prefers a classic-bend handlebar. James Huang Flecha has mounted Shimano’s new Di2 remote shifter to his bars for easier shifting while bouncing around on the pavé. James Huang The head tube of the new KOBH 60.1 bears Pinarello’s trademark shaping. James Huang The matching Onda KOBH fork displays Pinarello’s characteristic wavy shape. James Huang No surprises here: Flecha will run traditional box-section alloy tubular rims for Paris-Roubaix’s brutal cobbles. James Huang Regardless of what’s on the label, this counterweight always identifies an Ambrosio rim. James Huang Team Sky will use FMB’s giant 27mm-wide Paris-Roubaix Pro tubulars. James Huang The front wheel is built around a previous-generation Shimano Dura-Ace hub. James Huang/BikeRadar The rear wheel uses Shimano’s faster-engaging Dura-Ace 7950 internals. James Huang/BikeRadar Internal routing on Flecha’s KOBH 60.1 makes for a clean look while also protecting the wiring. James Huang/BikeRadar The KOBH 60.1’s top tube gently arcs from end to end. James Huang/BikeRadar Flecha’s Pinarello carbon seatpost is topped with a fi’zi:k Aliante Gamma Twin Flex saddle. James Huang/BikeRadar The composite center section makes for a softer and smoother ride. James Huang/BikeRadar The healthy-sized down tube offers up lots of room for a big Pinarello logo. James Huang/BikeRadar The new KOBH 60.1 doesn’t need to be modified to fit wider tires – it already includes clearance for 28mm rubber. James Huang/BikeRadar Like most riders at Paris-Roubaix, Flecha is running a 53/44T combo up front. James Huang/BikeRadar AceCo has provided Team Sky with its K-Edge chain watchers complete with custom team-only graphics. James Huang/BikeRadar Flecha puts the power down through Shimano’s ultra-durable Dura-Ace SPD SL pedals. James Huang/BikeRadar The pseudo-wishbone rear end provides a handy location for another team logo. James Huang/BikeRadar Slender seat stays are designed to provide more ride comfort on rough surfaces. James Huang/BikeRadar Likewise, the seat stays’ gentle arc is meant to flex under load to lessen jolts to the rider. James Huang/BikeRadar Flecha is running typical Paris-Roubaix gearing with an 11-23T cassette. James Huang/BikeRadar Pinarello says it will offer the new KOBH 60.1 in both Di2-specific and standard configurations. James Huang/BikeRadar Shimano Dura-Ace calipers provide the stopping power at both ends. James Huang/BikeRadar Pinarello says the new KOBH will accept 28mm-wide tires but just barely – there’s not much room beneath the fork crown. James Huang/BikeRadar
