StevieL Posted June 2, 2011 Share Probably opening a can of worms here, and I am sure everyone has a different opinion... BUT...What is generally regarded as the hottest road bike at the moment?I guess if price was anything to go by, the Pinarello Dogma would be right up there. I realize that most of the top of the range bikes are separated more by grams than by standout sex appeal.

Zula Posted June 2, 2011 Share The one which makes you wanna ride and ride and ride My FELT AR4 in that case! Dream bike is the new Look. Think its the 956.

Tankman Posted June 2, 2011 Share Top in what regard? Lightest - custom bike (google, there are many weight weenies)Stiffest - probably not the lightest oneMost expensive - custom bikes, ferrari, lotus and some other weird ones spring to mind.Best handling - according to who? Pinarello was voted bike of the year 4 years in a row now between the Prince and Dogma Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/104045-most-desirable-road-bike/#findComment-1416486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowchaser-d Posted June 2, 2011 Share Well i will add that the Cervelo most certainly will not fall into this category. A friend of mine has cracked 4 in the past 14 months. And all 4 cracked in a different place. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/104045-most-desirable-road-bike/#findComment-1416488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest agteros Posted June 2, 2011 Share Best... value for money, best... speed for money, best ..... smallest financial pain in case of loss ... :DFrame is nice and stiff for crit racing as well (not that I do much of that tough), best durability, ability to handle lifes little knocks.... All of the above: My second hand Scott Speedster S6 (without the Garmin on it ) Although my Raleigh Humber is right up there if 'racing' does not enter the equation Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/104045-most-desirable-road-bike/#findComment-1416495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieL Posted June 2, 2011 Share What happened to the Colnago brand?Those bikes were in my dream bike list for years and years, but over the last few years, they haven't really featured. I'm not saying they are not good bikes, but they used to be in the pinarello league, but IMO nowhere near any more...

AndreZA Posted June 2, 2011 Share StevieL, I read somewhere Complete Cyclist are going to start bringing Colnago in again. Then they will need to get a bigger shop. I could not shop there because I wanted to change my mind but had to step outside to do so.

Minion Posted June 2, 2011 Share I guess if price was anything to go by, the Pinarello Dogma would be right up there. I realize that most of the top of the range bikes are separated more by gramsIt's funny that you mention the Dogma and separation by grams. Dogmas are around 200-300g heavier than anything else in their price category. In fact, there are alu frame modules that are lighter than the Dogma.
