you can get 32s on a dolan

Yep, no doubt the Dolan is a great frame, but one day i want something a bit more 'snazzy'

no rush, keeping my options open

Nerg'd for lowering the tone of this thread with the use of the word "snazzy"...

Just been watching Alan Partridge...

Not convinced on the components but that frame is the shit

Think it's just the cockpit is a little off, needs slamdatstem... Oh yeah, and Restrap's...

What are the cranks? Middleburn? I like.

tight rear end with a slack ish fork?

^^agreed. Not too keen on the saddle. And the gold just really isnt doing it for me

Would be interesting to see how that weighs up to CBs Dolan, Alu frame vs carbon but looks to have slightly weenier parts

Edit: also brakeless installed

I get that i just don't think that really is any nicer than the dolan (actually don't like it at all and think the dolan is nicer) and going from an ahead set up to quill seems a bit odd imo if the frame isn't worth it.

Surely you could find something nice and steel for the same price?

56cm is to big.

I like that it fits 28c, whats wrong with that? i would actually fill the clearance.

This this and this, we live in london ffs some extra comfort and protection from pinchflats etc etc I'm all for that

Just buy the frame one size bigger and put a short stem on and jauntly saddle to get that snazzy feelin'.

Whats the actual difference between these three? They look pretty much identical and theyre all built by colossi so what am I missing?

^In respoonse to Aches and Pain etc (top photo is dead but it was the superb version). As far as I know they are all the same base colossi frame, does anyone know if they all use the same tubesets and geo etc?

^also what I thought.

LOL it's my friend's bike!
used to ride with him back then when I still lived in Bandung, West Java.

btw, can my bike join the party?

^I think I speak for us all when I say yes it most certainly can

Personal taste i guess, just has a few little things about it making it ideal for what i want. The Brother steel track also ticks many boxes, i don't mind splashing out the one time for a frame i would be happy with and ride all the time.

Edit: really struggling to find something on here or Ebay.

Thanks, main thing i'm wondering if its worth the money, it dose seem over priced.
