    How about a Ritchey Road Logic?

    I did consider it... I had loads of steel bikes... it would seem a step back in time... plus is a bit pricey for what it is

    I have to say when I fire an email to Dolan for some info, I get a reply from Terry within 15 minutes... it would be interesting to compare it with the average time big brands take to answer emails (when they do)

    Dolan Dual ticks a lot of boxes. It's not super heavy, but not light. A CAAD12 would be lighter. But the Dolan has big clearance, threaded BB and mudguard eyes.

    I hear you... given my plans to get into long distance, it was the logical choice, the only bike that made sense... and I like it... :D

    I'm interested to know what you think of it.

    I will open a thread in the bikes section... I certainly will have plenty of opportunities to ride it long distance, with a 200 and a 400 coming up. I like the fact that everything is standard (cables outside, BSA thread, alloy steerer) and yet it's not a relic from the 1990s. I think I can build it into a just over 8 kg bike with my current components. I haven't heard a bad word about it, which was the main factor that sold it to me over the Planet X unknown quantity. The CAAD 12 was very tempting, but probably the brand more than anything, ultimately BB30 is a pain and other minor things I wasn't too sure about
