Bub Marley Posted May 11, 2023 Share Dogma looks way better imo. Although I am biased to Pina. This design looks a bit bland to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like 66.7° for the 120mm and 67.8° for the 100mm which is much better than their hardtail. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read a few articles last night, lot of Blur tech in the bike. At first glance, did not like, but growing on me, the rear stay dropping still looks odd. The Dogma is much better looking than their last bike and hopefully the pivots hold this time. Interesting the rear end being two different triangles with no bridge, but did nothing on the tyre clearance. Awesome time we live in, so many great bikes to drool over. PS. Always been a value for your money guy, bikes being Giant, Liv and Momsen Vipa. Titan Racing took over the space and really like their bikes, from the children to the top end, but I see big compition coming with the Signal Spectre around October. Personally cant see why you would tike the Cervelo above the Signal Spectre. devvydoesdonuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must agree that the Dogma is better looking, but not great that it only has clearance for up to 2.35" tires, considering how many guys are now going 2.4" and with wider inner diameter rims the tires are measuring even wider. I am a big fan of Giant, always felt great from the first ride on them, currently have an Anthem and an XTC in the garage, and love them. Interested to have a look at that new Signal coming out, think it will be another brand shaking up the market a bit, now that a lot of people are looking for better value.

Clearly taste differ 🤪, I like the Blur type design (very similar also to Rocky Element) and hence also like this Cervelo. Probably going to be k@k expensive like everything else these days .... devvydoesdonuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Cervelo will be perfect for you @TheoG just a bit more yellow than your Rocky currently has😜 You are absolutely right that it is going to be 💩 expensive😂 TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mongoose! Posted May 12, 2023 Share Looks like a deal with an "open mould" Chinese manufacturer. There is some nice YouTube content on this topic. - (not to be confused with Alibaba) They even have annual shows to showcase their products and attract well established brands... dasilvarsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the modern geometry however it will help me on the tech stuff giving more confidence and hence going faster. It also got UDH so I can go direct mount DR in future. I am still on the fence though to pull the trigger or not ... devvydoesdonuts and dasilvarsa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring on the blood and sweat😂 just take it easy on me going through the tech stuff when I am on the HT😜 I think you should close your eyes and swipe your card🤣 TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
