Tarmac SL4 and Dolan

Had both just under 4 years. The Tarmac has had a few upgrades - Ksyrium Pro wheels, Sram Red chainset, and I fitted a shorter stem than was originally on there. The Dolan is pretty much as I bought it (second hand). You’ll notice in the title I didn’t put the model of the Dolan – this is because I don’t know what it is! I’ve searched a few times, but without luck. I guess I could send a pic to Dolan and enquire, but not knowing doesn’t bother me particularly. Though if anyone does know…
The Dolan will be getting some upgrades soon as one of the shifters decided to give up the ghost, but that’s about it really. I simply enjoy riding both as they are.

Its on my C.V , also I can pop in and take a look at the showroom and buy what I need. Did I mention I live near by ?
you know to Dolan Bikes, the stockist ?
Cool! Thanks for the info.
I'm glad someone noticed the effort i went to. Always loved 'Spot the Difference' as a child. If you look carefully there are three more differences. Can you spot them?
I wonder if he has an impressive shed like Deutsche_blonde
Is one bike blue and the other had a water bottle ?
Who - Terry Dolan or the bloke who lives within a 100 mile radius of him and for some reason thinks this is a good reason to buy a bike off him? I live within 100 miles of Edwyn but I won't buy a bike of him after the last incident with the goat.
I reckon Terry's shed is quite large and has some bikes in.
DB's shed is well nifty. More of a chalet or summer house though wouldn't you say?

I also own a Dolan bike. Never met Terry, even though I have been to Liverpool.
Oh did I say I love the colour
By coincidence my second bike is a Dolan, though a Dual for winter use
Me and Garry might have been on the same holiday. I went to Italy once and had an attack of vertigo while hiking next to Lake Como. No way!

Bet you had a sandwich as well. You did! Didn't you!
When I was younger we used to drive from where we lived in Firenze down to the house in the Abruzzo - about 4 1/2 hours.
Because I used to get so travel sick I once vomited on myself a record 13 times. It wasn't a particularly great journey.

Was it the sandwich?
I bet it does indeed look lovely with the dark Bora wheels. Do you have a pic by any chance? I do have a slight regret at not waiting/saving for some carbon/dark rims but these came up for a bargain price so had to have them.
About the shed. It's double walled, double glazed, carpeted and heated. There are two rooms. One has become a bit of a dumping ground, but includes all the bike tools and bits, and importantly contains a stereo and a chair. The second is a gym, with a number of bikes (and a pair of signed Mike Tyson boxing gloves) hung on the wall.
The previous owner of the house had settee's and a proper sound system in one room, and a hot tub in the other. Evidently he was a lot cooler than I am.
Yes, and in the UK they are solely for people who not only don't realise that Towie and Made in Chelsea are complete and utter censored , but aspire to be like the f****** dimwits who star in those programmes.
I like your anger , it suits you.
Strong opinions , magic. As I say if you don't like my opinion , I've got plenty more .
Back on topic, great shed.
The gloves , do you think he really signed them ? I mean , like , I could sign a pair of socks for you , and would you put them up in the shed !
After all I'm just nobody.
I like the change of chainset and the flite, I've also upgraded my wheels and added the Fulcrums to my winter hack.
why??
