This is what I should do, but I can't bring myself to do it.Sold mine in disappointment, and wrote off three hundred sheets in the process.
It's lucky I've got a big shed.

That does look like a quite steep head angle, do you know what angle it is ?Bought my Dawes Vantage in 2012 and loved it bar the harsh frame.
I'd been itching for a more comfy steel frame during its use and someone posted a link to such a delight on eBay...so I bought one.
Built it up whilst cursing and swearing at it (issues with the front mech and brakes) and got her running.
First ride scared the crap out of me. The steering is the twitchiest I've ever known. It's like the front wheel wants to spin 360 degrees while turning into bends and it wants to track along the smallest ruts in the tarmac like it was following a tram line.
Love it to bits but hate with a passion how it handles. View attachment 338064
It also looks like the bars have not much forward sweep and/or a long backwards sweep.That does look like a quite steep head angle, do you know what angle it is ?
Absolutely no idea whatsoever.That does look like a quite steep head angle, do you know what angle it is ?
I've always wanted a Colnago like the one that Saronni rode to win the Worlds at Goodwood. But now I can afford one, there's really no point, it would be totally unsuitable to the riding I do these days.
