Hi,

I have decided to upgrade my F4:13 to a newer model.
for the same amount I'm able to choose a 2012 Dogma 60.1, or a 2015 Marvel.

Both with the same setup (completely new ultegra 11) and wheels (Campy shamal ultra).

I realize the Dogma is considered "better", and paid a deposit for that model.

However, Now I'm not sure if what was considered a "top-model" in 2012 (Dogma) is still capable of topping a 2015 "budget" model, like the marvel - in terms of technology mostly.

In addition, the marvel comes with warranty, and the Dogma doesn't.

I'll appreciate your thoughts and inputs...

Thanks.

    I may be biased*, I went from F4:13 to Dogma 60.1 in 2011.

    The Marvel is the same grade carbon as the f4:13 a launched in 2004! It is effectively an updated f4:13, so internal cables, tapered headtube and assymetric frame. The Dogma 60.1 is a much better (pinarello speak) grade carbon.

    After the 30hm1k came 46hm3k (2006 Paris), then 50hm1k (2009 Prince) and then 60.1 for the Dogma. So in my opinion you are buying relatively old tech in the Marvel. Carbon design has moved on quite a bit in the 5 years in between.

    I would have the 60.1 in a heartbeat over the marvel.



    *I say this because I am looking to sell my frame.
