Opinions re: this dolan

Its an ok starting point. A lot of the components come off a cannondale capo which isn't great. The crankset is pressed tin & won't last. the wheels are heavy but tough. The frame is ok but the geometry is a bit slack but it's still an ok light weight frame, at the current price of £227 it is a good buy... I wouldn't recommend going above £300 for it. In fact I'd probably go for this instead

the dolan is a very good buy for £300, assuming the components aren't completely shagged out.

The trek will go for more than £400 - and it's a different size!!
