It's one of those fancy new boomerangs innit? If you end up not liking it,
you can throw it in my direction :-)

Tasty, tasty, tasty. I'm jealous.

If it was me though I'm shove a seatpost in ASAP and clamp that not
the carbon.

<killjoy moaner> Looks bloody uncomfortable to me! </killjoy moaner>

Good old fashioned jealousy aside, will it make an appearance in
Edinburgh, complete with a team of security guards?

On Sunday I was dropping little hints, and Guy asked whether he had
missed an important announcement. He hadn't, _then_.

This morning it arrived. Currently it's in the middle of the sitting
room getting built up, but here's the sneak preview:

And there was me thinking you'd finally succumbed to the lure of the Dark
Side. Bah!

Very pretty. I am seething with jealousy.

1.3kg?!?!? I suspect my forks alone weigh that much.

Sith footsoldiers Eddie, Jon and Roos will be working on him in
Edinburgh (I'll be on the Brom for logistical reasons, but since Eddie
has a Streetmachine that shouldn't be a problem...)

Damn that's a pretty frame. What spec of gear do you plan on installing
(Campag Carbon Record / FSA I presume!)?

Funnily enough my mate and I were discussing Dolan carbon frames
recently in a "If I save for few months, and sell the Giant, I could buy
one of them" stylee.

Pete has already asked but... will it be coming to Edinburgh? I believe
Roos was interested in riding a "proper" racer, and yours beats mine
hands down!

I thought you said a triple would look ugly? As it stands, that frame ain't
exactly pretty! :-)

Mine is probably too small and a bit old tech now (but still goes well
enough apart from the engine).

Ah, so you think it's a 'bent because it has Dolan on the side ;-)

Sadly or joyfully, it's only the engine that counts.

A true "Dolan" frame would have a holster for a .457 magnum and a box to
hold personal insults ready to throw around.

I was disappointed by the pic 'cos I was expecting to see a nice new
Windcheetah frame :-(

Presume away! No, it now sports a Centaur groupset and Ksyrium wheels -
and my old battered Brooks Professional saddle, which probably weighs
as much as the frame... If it weren't for the fact that I ordered the
wrong headset I'd be giving you a ride report now.

You'll remember we talked about the Dolan monocoques when we went
audaxing. I've been lusting after one for a while.

I'm not going to tell you what I paid, because that would be unfair and
only rub it in worse. But suffice it to say that browsing ebay late at
night because you're too tired to do anything else does occasionally
have its rewards. And you would not have had to sell your Giant.
