Dolan Tuono SL

Thinking of buying a Dolan Tuono with full Ultegra and Mavic Cosmic SLS wheelset and wondering if anyone here has any thoughts?

My thoughts are that if you like it, buy it.

I do like it it Citius and I think after doing a bit of research it could be my next purchase. However it would be good to hear the opinions of anyone who has had any dealings with Dolan bikes or may be riding a Tuono at the moment.
I start to get a bit nervous when it comes to parting with my hard earned cash.

Nice bike
Mr M's colleague has a Dolan road bike and he is very happy with it.
Don't know much else, sorry.

I bought a Dolan in September, couldn't praise their customer service more, everything was on time and I was kept very well informed, only had to set the handlebars, the seat was close enough to begin with, very well priced bikes.

I've read on here that they're good when it comes to getting the sizing and fit right. Assuming you can go to their showroom (Preston way iirc)

Wouldn't be my choice though being black with fugly wheels however! Then I don't race

I've had Dolan frames before with no service problems. The only downside to buying one is the slightly (ie very) limited colour options on the Tuono, which is fine if you like the black/white scheme. In fact, Dolan's colour options on the whole are a bit sh1t, but the frames are very good.

My no1 reason for not buying one is the colours. Shame! Looks a lovely bike.

I have to say it's not my favourite colour scheme either but it looks a great spec and a very light bike for the money

Try her out, if she whispers "buy me" then do it .
I think the colour scheme is very smart.

The spec is good and the frames are very light - but you have to like black & white...

You can "jazz up" black and white a wee bit. Coloured bar tape, water bottle, tyres and some colourful clothes for the rider too .

Up until recently you could get custom colour schemes from dolan. Unfortunately they don't seem to offer this service anymore

Or get it painted in the future?
