Kid in the background is thinking wtf?

 

[whippetman1]

is it up and running yet and if so what do you think of the ride

 

[dodgy]

Lovely (I ride a Dolan, too). But for goodness sake, change the horrible white tie-wraps for black ones!

 

[jayce]

yes been on it i like very much and thanks for the feedback on the tie wraps ive changed them now

 

[jayce]

its all finished now put the front mech on, calipers,seatpost,stem,new tyres and new sti 10 speed levers,rear cassette and chain only thing left is to ride

 

[Euan Uzami]

just a suggestion - maybe black cable ties for mounting computer instead of clear?
possibly also black spacers.
and are they sora shifters? (or campag equivalent?)

other than that very very nice bike , bet it rides fast.

Echo.....echo....

 

[Mortiroloboy]

yes just taking five mins before i crack the whip again

Looks more like the disappointed kid who didn't get his Christmas present, cos Dad had spent it all on a lovely new Dolan Carbon framed beauty

If you are 5'9" (same height as me) I would have said that the 52 frame would definitely be too small unless you have very short legs, I ride a 56, used to ride a 54 until I was measured at www.bikefitting.com and was informed that the frame was too small, I'm proportionate in build, i.e not overlong body, short legs or vice versa.

Nice looking bike though.

I'm 5ft 9 and all my bikes are 52s (or equivalent to). I have a have a short torso and like short toptubes though.
Having said that, looking at the Dolan geometry, the 52 is the actual C-T measurement and so it's more like a traditional 56 with it's 57 effective top tube.

thats right when i bought the frame he said its between 52-57 it fit me perfect . been on a couple of rides sinse ive been on here last and i love it . its very smooth and fast

 

[jayce]

hi as for the spacers i have black but i like the red ones and their titanium so they a lighter and every bit counts. the pic on here is an older one its changed a bit now if you notice there is no front mech ,got new seat post,calipers pedals,casette,chain ,levers, cables
