It's rim brake, it's not the top model, but it it IS a Pinarello.
For context I have a good road bike but I want an awesome road bike, only I'm a cheapskate.
Worth that price? What should I shop it against?

What groupset?
Group set is Shimano 105, sorry, meant to include that detail.

If you’re not looking for comfort from either the geometry or the tyres then it might be for you.
Though if you’re doing longer road rides then comfort could easily be your main consideration. It’s definitely mine.
Looks like the shimano 105 5800, which was two generations ago, circa 2013-2018. It’s a tad over priced, the wheels are quite a let down, they’re just entry level fulcrum racing 7s, which is their cheaper, heavier alloy wheels.
You basically have like $400 worth of parts (groupset, wheels, stem/bar/saddle), so is the frame worth $600? Not at all in my opinion. It’s their entry-level carbon frame. You can get a rim brake frameset any day for like $300-$400. Pinarellos don’t really have the reputation like they use to when Team Sky was winning like every race on them.
You essentially have like $700-$800 worth of parts.
