Want the EVO though Ben. I have a friend who may be able to get me one with a bit off the RRP. Waiting to hear from him.

I'm the same! The dolans are cracking bikes for the cash, been looking at them myself. Think I've got my heart set on a pinarello, fucking pricey though.

We all have Alun, we all have. Would have to be a Dogma though and if you bought one of the cheaper bikes you will just wish you had bought a Dogma.

Could just buy the frame and take all your bits off the Allez and put it on that frame (if possible) then slowly upgrade as finances allow.

If I had a Dogma I would call it Didier.

Didier dogma I don't think shimano 2300 is particularly suited to a dogma frame have looked at the chinarellos but I just know I will want to kit it out with shimano 105 or something at least. My local shop usually have some good deals on fp1's and fp2's but it's no match for a dogma is it. Considering getting something on finance and selling the allez. We'll see though.

f you were to spec that Dolan like for like to the Cannondale with the same wheels etc the price goes up. The wheels the Cannondale has on it, to put on that Dolan on their site adds £400 alone. The Cannondale frame also weighs about as much as a peanut.

I can also buy the Cannondale from a shop a 2 minute walk from my shop. So any issues would be a lot easier to sort. That to me alone is worth a lot.

First ride in a while, Wore my longs in the end and my god I'm glad lol, probably should have worn my long sleeve jersey but meh. Was a lovely ride spoilt only by some strong winds towards the end and the heavens opening. My new cycle computer I set to bloody km/h and it means nothing to me haha! I don't know how you guys can do more than 20miles, my balls were aching after 15 with decent padding, probably should use chamois cream more often

What saddle do you have? I am thinking of buying a Brooks B17, everyone I have spoke to has said they are super comfortable.

Did have the standard specialized one that was on it, swapped it for a charge spoon I had lying about. It's probably just I need to get used to it, I don't ride often enough to get used it.
