Cool! Interested to hear what you think of the Dovals.
I've got no complaints about the Kinesis guys comms, I've messaged them on facebook a few times on weekends and got replies back almost instantly. I asked them about the mudguards they used, and also about where I could get hold of the big blue frame and when they'd have a new shipment. I'd recommend messaging them on FB if you're having trouble getting in touch.
I've already got the Ultegra hydro disc groupset and most of the finishing kit. Still unsure about wheels - I'm thinking the Kinesis Crosslight v4 wheelset from Merlin looks like a good deal at £260, but as there's no frames available I'm thinking I might wait until January sales for wheels etc, see if I can pick up some bargains...

They replied today :). Anyway my questions where already answered.
@Smallfurry has commented about his experience riding Dovals, Rotors and Osymetrics in the Non Circular Chainrings thread. With the power2max I got for free a set of Praxis Works 52/36 chainrings (round) just in case the Dovals don't suit me well.
About the wheels, road.cc just released an article about tubeless options (if thats what you're looking for) I have to do some extra research to find a all the options for tubeless, 28 or 32 spokes with 3 crosses and non-carbon.
If you get mad waiting... my other frameset candidates where:
- Condor Fratello Disc (a bit heavier, without internal cable routing, but lovely Columbus Spirit tubing :D and classic look)
- Mason Definition (still doesn't have the 62cm size available, the most expensive but also best looking)
- Condor Fratello Disc (a bit heavier, without internal cable routing, but lovely Columbus Spirit tubing :D and classic look)
No, first time with Doval's. Talked a lot with @CarlosBI about them after reading his article where I discovered that brand
The @kinesisuk guys seems like on permanent vacation: still no response to my 3 week old email... Hope they resupply early! Do you have already the groupset, wheels and parts?
