Just to make things slightly more complex
i think Dura Ace discs being black look better than the silver Ultegra, but easy enough to swap over once the first set is worn outDeleted User

You know the answer, Dogma all the way!
Once it's in the Garage that extra 4k will be long forgotten and you'll find yourself up at 4 in the morning sat looking at it, I know I would.
You jammy Bast*rd.

Besides that the only number you need to remember is the one you told your wife/partner/friends

I have to go through the motions of weighing up the pros and cons (my wife is watching me carefully
) although in truth my mind is made up and it’ll be the F12 ... either the black one from stock ... or a little more on the ‘my way’ grey one I pictured .. I’ll update as soon as the deposit is paid ..

Hurry up.
Spending someone else's money on high end machines is fun isn't it, especially with no wife financial approval problems to overcome....

It would help us decide if you put up pictures of the actual bikes, not just their shadows.

Flick to the opening post.
As an owner of my second Dogma, the first an F8 (rim braked, Campagnolo EPS) and now an F12 ( disc braked EPS ) I can assure you that the F12 with disc will be a great choice. On a Dogma you always want to beat your last PB. I am 64 and just love it, love it. Comfortable and ever so steady at all speeds. Just go for it. Life is too short

Thank you v8rumble - great to hear. I’m finalising my own build of an F12 now - should be a firm order at the end of this week. ‘In for a penny, in for a pound’ they say - so I’ve opted for the best I can have - disc brakes, dura-ace Di2, ceramic bearing wheel set and so on ... as you say ‘Life is too short’ ... I’ll do my best to forget the purchase price , although I’m confident my wife will remind me from time to time - I’ll update this thread as soon as the order is accepted. Which colour do you have please ?.

I’ve watched a few videos about F12’s on YouTube. Sometimes there’s floors in the carbon. I’d rather have a Planet X carbon & save £5,000 whilst not loosing any time on a 100 mile ride. The F12 imitations from China have come along way now. I wouldn’t risk it incase the fork snaps at 40-50 mph mind.
