I see Pinarello is quite popular... Only buy one if they have extended their warranty over 2 years finally or if you have money to burn (I say this from past experience and will never waste my money on another one!) Beautiful frames, but zero after sales service when I had one...

I'm a Specialized man for life - not the most flashy bikes, but seem to be a very good balance of quality, weight and after sales service (from what I've heard - mine's 3 years old and still going strong).

If your looking for Colnago in SA, the wait is finally over.

Our new offices are in Aspen Hills, JHB south.

Were planning to break the news this past week, but with the passing of AVH we thought the better of it.

Keep an eye on the HUB and your cycling mags in the new year for our new range of EPS, CX1, CLX2.0 and others.

Interesting thing about the Dogma: Tour Magazine Tested a Dogma, Madone 6.9, Super6 himod, BMC SLR & Tarmac SL3 in their December issue, all size 56-57 frames.

 

Frame+fork for the others were 1400 - 1450 grams. Dogma weighed in at 1848 grams. Thats about 30% heavier.

Sure, weight is not everything, but who would pay R50k for a bike that is a lot heavier (in relative terms) than other top end bikes?

 

Dogma was not significantly stiffer than the rest, and had the worst comfort score in the test. Pinarello supposedly has exclusive use of Toray M60 fiber (much stiffer than other current high modulus fiber). So they use better material, but get worse results? That implies that other frames are better engineerd.

 

BTW, Tarmac SL3 won best frameset, & Super6 got best bike overall.
