Confirm the material used pleased?

A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

Afraid not old bean, just plain old Alu it's my new winter trainer / commuter hack alas as much as I love using the Dolan CX for commuting it really needs to be turned into a real CX bike ie big tyres different gearing after all that's what I bought it for.Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

You have to check in at the "station"?

it is a very nice frame, all the pictures i'd seen before really don't do it justice - I especially like the downtube shape, almost seems too nice a frame to use as a workhorse!
I paid £49.95 for mine as it had to have the top tube stops replaced. Whatever they did left no marks and the rest of the bike is perfect - not sure if you got forks too but for £40 they're impressive - still can't quite work out how it all cost £110 with delivery and a headset!
I wasn't that keen on the colour but now i've seen it it's a lot nicer close up - i'd recommend getting some helicopter tape for the graphics as they're on top of the lacquer and feel like they might peel easily
I start my build tonight, got to strip the donor bike first but planning to take it to work friday morning barring any problems so looking forward to getting home!2011 Genesis Equilibrium 10 (black frame) | 2011 Tricross Sport | 2008 Carrera Fury0 -

I'm sure you'll want to get out and ride it as much as possible but careful with those knees now ......

Nice one ITB. Might get one of those as a commuter/backup roadie at some point in the future.....Not this year though. I'd like to get through a calendar year without buying a bike (three years, three bikes). And I have half a mind to get something bespoke made in Tuscany, which would be rather more priceyDahon Speed Pro TT; Trek Portland
