    The more I look at this lovely mouthwatering frame, the more I think a set of Bora's would of set the whole thing off!

    The FP5 is an brillient bike, the FP3 the difference is just price, same ride.......

    Lovely bike 8) And good to see someone taking a pragmatic approach to gearing :)

    Out of interest, is that frame colour what they call 'Petrol' on the Pinarello website?

    Lovely, I just sat and shook my head in awe for a couple of minutes.

    I've not been on my bike for a while, it's nowhere near the class of yours, but by god this makes me want to head back. If only my wheels weren't out of action.

    I'm off to cry................

    Have changed a few things now. Have orange and black Rubino pro on with orange handle bar tape. Offsets the frame colour really well and lifts what was a slightly anemic bike I think. Pink could work to given the petrol colour is a pastel shade I think. Worth a try next summer. I have also cut the steerer down to just two spacers now I am well and truly firing on all cylinders and over last years car injuries. Finally, I am debating weeneing the bike as it feels heavy on occasion. The issue with the Dogma is that the frame and forks is 1800 kgs, most bikes of this ilk come in at 900 ish, so your one pound heavier to start with. Still, rides well and oddly climbs better with a 25 on the back now.
