Thanks scblack! This bike is exactly what I've always wanted to ride.

My first Pinarello was a Prince which together with my shoulder got written off by a tradie talking on his phone whilst driving. :) The Dogma was the logical next step.

Pina's are not for everyone, the weight weenies hate them, but it's the best bike for me. I've had Giants, a cervelo R3, and a BMC Team Elite 01. All were lighter and the BMC and Cervelo were more forgiving. Nothing comes close to how solid the Dogma feels when taking off, or how well it steers.

Thanks MTB. I only have 3 bikes, this, the Epic, and my 29er SS. The rest have been sold mate. :)

Pinarellos are heavy, if you look at the forks, frames, and stays, they're very chunky bikes, which is part of the beauty I see in them. It feels really solid and it is great to climb with. I honestly haven't weighed it. :) I'd imagine that it be around 7, but only b/c the Lightweights are feathers...

It comes on it's own when you're riding a twisty crit circuit, or if you have a need for multiple accelerations. It's so stiff, but it doesn't beat you up...

Last year I had a Chinarello Dogma. It weighed less than Daver's real Dogma2, with very similar parts. And it was an awesome machine to ride, felt very solid and responsive. From reading RIDE magazine its very widely known that Dogma's have never been built down to a weight. In August last year I replaced the Chinarello with a Cinelli, and within two weeks they brought out a special for Prince frames in Oz, but they missed my date of replacement. Still I love my Cinelli.

As you should love your Cinelli scblack buddy! :) Cinelli has history, and they make beautiful bikes that I have a soft spot for.

I'm finally back on a roadie - scored myself a TCR A2 pretty cheap over the weekend.

It's nothing too special, 105 group, giant / Race Face branded controls and Shimano wheels but it's enough to get me back on the road.

Pics to follow :)

Thought i would post this, been rocking it for a few years now. Mostly Ultegra drive train with exception of a SRAM solid block red cluster, BeOne frame, Fulcrum 1 wheels plus thomson stem and post. Some none conforming XTR mtb pedals used with Sidi shoes (same as road shoes) that makes struting around at the coffee shop post ride much easier.

My Felt F5 with poseur wheelset. Will swap to black grip tape and cables in the near future. Hope to replace the 105 gear with SRAM Force too.

First ever roadie for me; probably a bit of overkill, but fuck it, why not.



EDIT: better pic with correct saddle...

Though the frame is a 51, these TMRs are sized larger than their usual fare. But from what I can tell from my first ride (about 2 hrs) it feels very comfortable, with no limbs feeling stretched or locked.

Cheers!
PS, bought the bike without saddle as I have an Arione R1 on order. The Gobi was slapped on for the sake of a quick pic. May explain the slap-dash placement of it. :)

Upgrade!

I took the plunge and upgraded groupset to Super Record Titanium, and added a RAM carbon seat.
