    I got 2 brand new Open Pro CD 32h rims if you still need. 35 squid each if you collect. They're on the bay atm but let me know and i can pull them down.

    Ugh, reading comp is not a prized skill here i see... My main reasons (as previously stated) for not wanting the Cursa were that i found it ugly and it is substantialy heavier. This thread was about building a "Light bike" no? How can you reccomend a 1800g+ frame in this thread? I dont doubt the quality of the Dolans (again see my previous post) my end game is to acquire a seta frameset... It appears i have upset the fanbois though so chances of getting an objective answer to my question seem to be rapidly dimishing :/

    Yes, nearly everybody.

    Reread ze post ( i was asking about TBC's frames) i am fully aware of Dolan's reputation, i only found this frame after seeriously considering a Pre Cursa but being rather dissalusioned when my LBS called me down to see one they were building for another customer.

    Also forgot to mention the Logos on the Pre cursa are pretty horrible and i did read a couple fo disturbing reports about the frames cracking near the BB housing...

    Does anybody have expeerience with their (http://www.triplebuttedcycling.co.uk) frames though? The only reviews i could find were the ebay comments (which were all positive)...

    I did consider the dolan but dont like

    a. The shape (that bulge in the bottom tube is just ugly)
    b. The finish (i get goosebumps whenever i touch that matt powdercoat)
    c. The weight (its over 200g heavier than TBC's frame)

    I had the same idea for my current build (but not the funds :( ) so i plumped for Butted as a stand in till i can afford a Seta frameset...
