Nice bike that Sarah,though when I 1st looked at the pics thought you had 2 broken arms

I can't let Mrs RH see that, she'll want pink bar tape, but then I'd have to get her a road bike to put it on

Enjoy the new bike.

Im seriously liking the look of that pink bar tape on that bike ............ must start watching a Chuck Norris film and start swigging cans of Stella to confirm my butchness.

Really nice bike!! I looked at that one myself!! Lovely design, but my LBS couldn't get hold of my size frame. Have not ordered the Dolce 27...and can't wait for it to arrive!! It will be my first road bike as am totally new to all this! Would love to hear how you get on!!
Happy cycling!

hey thanks for all the lovely replies. it is so lovely to ride,a lthough I did have a slight mis-hap on it where needed a new back wheel. but I absolutly love it, and the pink bar tape makes it extra special in my eyes

well its in the beginerrs and riding section I was coming down a narrow country lane and a landrover was coming up couldn't quite break in time, ended up in a bush and the back wheel buckled and was non repairable. been a lot more careful since

Saddle looks a bit low given you can sit on it and still place your entire foot on the floor (I'm surprised nobody's mentioned it).

I cant touch the ground sat on my saddle even with the tips of my toes. If I set the saddle any lower my knees seem to take the strain and the hills are much harder work. Cool bike by the way!
