Just getting into this road bike thing after ten years riding mountain bikes. I'm chuffed with this

Oh, and are those the standard Mach 1 Omegas?
Wheels are Pro-Lite Brachianno as reviewed on here. I thought they were a better deal than the Dolan upgrade options. Bike comes in at 7.4kg including pedals.
Very nice looking bike, Patrick1964. Spec looks very good too. Hope you enjoy the move to proper cycling
Everything I've heard about Dolan bikes has been good. Terry Dolan has a very good reputation too. If I was in the market for a new bike, I'd definitely consider one.
Lol at "proper cycling"
Thanks.
I am a bit far away but have fired off an email for more info.
As mentioned in other threads I have a few options in mind but am open to considering others.
Also the road show tomorrow should help.
For Gods sake SD, DON'T TAKE THE CREDIT CARD
Have fun.
Trikeman.
Fun, oh yes, will do. But the credit card will attend too!
But why does nearly every bike I look at have a compact!
I don't know where you live, but I strongly suggest you visit the showroom in Ormskirk and have a look. I'm a beginner to the road thing, but I know a lot of people who ride Dolan round here (some who do thousands of miles a year) and they all rave about the bikes and the value.
Seeing as I am in the market for some carbon in my life, any info on Dolan in general?
I know the name and seen them with the Sean Kelly An Post team in the past.
So any info please on warranty, etc.
Very impressed with the look of Ares SL with ultegra Di2.
Is that the Tuono SE?
Thinking of getting the Hercules SE with full Force.
It's the Hercules SE with Red - you're never going to upgrade the groupset after buying, and with two years interest free why not ? Only thing is they only have 56's left in the SE. Buy direct, not from a dealer. Much cheaper.
Sorry, I think that I'm going to get the Hercules SL with Force.
Nice
Very Nice, go get some miles and enjoy.
Cracking
Regards
Trikeman.
Congrats and enjoy!
