SOLD - Dolan L'Etape XL size For Sale

[Cyclone1]

Haha, no I had the yellow one first. I sold it to my cousin after he was looking to upgrade from his Btwin Triban, but he couldn't quite afford a new Dolan. As I loved the Dolan so much I then bought my current blue one (would have bought yellow again but as I cycle with my cousin would have looked odd on the same bike, but now really like the blue version) but with 11 speed Rival instead of 10.

What's the SRAM rival like compared to shimano ? Can I ask what gearing you have front and rear

The frame set looks almost exactly like that of the Bianchi Vertigo

I personally prefer SRAM over Shimano. My cube had 105 which was absolutely fine, but after trying SRAM on a friends bike quite liked it. I specified my next bike with SRAM (rival) and whilst it initially took a few rides to get used to it, prefer it. I recently was given the opportunity to test ride a Giant Defy Advanced Pro 2 fitted with Ultegra. Whilst a nice bike (£2.3k!) it reassured me that I much prefer SRAM over Shimano. It's purely a personal preference and have friends who prefer Shimano.

It's a 50/34 and 11-28 set up.

Wow yes looks similar but on checking the specs is quite different.

Lovely bike. Very tempted but unsure on geometry for me at 6'2" with long legs and short torso. Probably sold by now of course.

why can't I delete this?

I've still got the bike as intend to put it on wider sale at the end of the month (not received new bike yet).

Geometry wise it will be good for your height, I am 6ft 1. Long legs can be adjusted by seat height, reach due to torso adjusted by seat position and stem length.

£700 with the Zondas or £600 with brand new Mavic Aksium One wheels and Vittoria Tyres

My goodness, I wish I had a spare £700. And room in my garage for a +1.

That's a cracking bike you have there, sir.

As a Dolan owner i was very surprised to see Bikes ETC mag singing the bikes praises this month, its not a company I've seen advertising in there

They often go under the radar, but most owners are more than happy which is what counts.
