I couldn't ride a bike that ugly...

Colour aside, I don't it looks too bad at all. Certainly if you put it next to a P5X :)

Personally, colour is the only thing I like about that bike...

ZONE3 - We Last Longer

Its amazing how well things review when you give a magazine full of staff a free one. See Planet X bikes a decade ago and some well known tri mags.

Personally I think that looks awful, not due to the discs but due due to the "it looks aero so lets call it aero" frame.

Fair points, however I have a Dolan track bike and was very impressed with how effortlessly they replaced a fork damaged in transit. So my personal experience of dealing with them is rather positive. Second, their track bikes are *very* competitive, and this is what they're primarily known for these days.

None of us have any idea how aero that frame is, and maybe you're right, and it isn't at all slippery. My point in posting is that finally we're seeing some generic disc brake frames hitting the market and I suspect this will ensure other companies lower their premiums on their disc brake offerings, such as QR or Cannondale for instance. I don't see how we lose out here, other than the affront to your (and others) aesthetic sensibilities.

Prices for the Dolan:



They're still targeting the middle to top end of the tri market but at least it can be had for less than a small car.
