A bit about my current steed - this started life as a Condor Fratello. I bought a "bargain" in their end of season sales as I was doing some decent mileage on my commute, I'd always wanted one and I'd never owned a bike from brand new. Anyway, the price tag clouded my judgement and I got a frame that was too big: naive, greedy and impatient but lesson learnt.
I eventually swapped the frame out for a Hewitt Chiltern that fitted and made various upgrades but I decided to make the change to carbon just for the hell of it as I fancied it. The idea is that this will be my do-everything bike until I've saved up enough cash to buy myself a Colnago EPS.
Frame: Dolan Mythos 56cm
Bars: Deda Newton
Stem: Ritchey
Headset: Alpina
Bar Tape: Fizik
Brake Levers: Campag Centaur
Calipers: Condor Long drop
Gruppo: Campag Centaur Carbon
Seat: Not sure - old thing laying around but very comfortable.
Seat Post: Alpina
Pedals: M520
Rims: Mavic CXP33
Hubs: Campag Record
Tubes: Specialised
Tires: Conti Gatorskin
Weight: 8.5kg (bathroom scales)
Haven't ridden it yet, other than around the garden as knee is dodgy but will report back.

have thrown some new wheels on - I think it looks great but the RH shifter isnt working so I havent been able to ride it yet. Doing London to Paris in 3 weeks and am getting frustrated!

Well, I may use this on the commute. But I won't be going quick - my gunt is currently at top tube level when on the drops so got to get in shape PDQ.0

Nice. Looks *a lot* like a PX SL Pro frame. Is it Dolan designed or generic?
Also, I'm impressed that you managed to take the second picture with it sat on a white bed linen.0 -

so, I've done about 400 miles on this now. Didn't make London to Paris due to my bad knee which is gutting but I'm very happy with the bike. Feels nice and light compared to my old Hewitt Chiltern frame and I'm very happy with the fit: I lowered the saddle slightly and put in a couple of spacers and it feels really comfortable and fast.
