jealous I covet that l/s brevet jersey. I couldn't bring myself to part with the folding when it was in stock.

I didn't get on with mine. It was exclusively for track use, I used it weekly for a couple of months and knew it wasn't for me. It was a 54 FWIW

The wheelbase is very short and the angles seemed steep even for a dedicated track bike. I found the toe overlap extreme too. Im not sure that going a size up would have made any difference to these issues.

The wheelset was heavy and supplied with utilitarian tyres given its intended for track use. The bb was a fairly rudimentary affair, square taper cranks, and a rather ugly rear dropout assembly left me feeling rather short-changed, its not exactly cheap and cheery. Unbranded finishing kit too.

Dolan Pre Cursa or Genesis Madison.

No contest.

Colours to the mast. Long time hater of Armstrong. I've read enough about his bullying ways over the years to realise he's a right cunt.

I've (just) watched both of the Oprah interviews. I have to admit to being captivated by them. Totally fascinated by him, a socio-path with the walls - finally crashing down around him. I have to say though, that I **didn't **find it insincere. I think thats as close to candid as you'll get from him.

To adopt an LA idiosyncrasy; Do I think he will regain the the trust of those he sought to persecute for daring to call him a cheat? No, probably not. I mean, LeMond, Kimmage, Walsh, Andrieus, etc.

Im genuinely glad he came clean in the end. What a sordid tale though. He did his best to ruin professional lives s and careers. Forgiveness is a reward for the wronged party, it gives closure to the bitterness and hatred harboured for those who we feel have crossed us.

LA will live with his misdemeanour's forever.

Any pics of it built up with your bits and bobs? Silvers looks very classy. :)

Huh, Dolan no longer have the Seta in their website anymore.

Causing me some concern that. I had ummed and awwed for months about getting one of these. I bought one yesterday via Dolan.

Its vanished form the website overnight, both the frame and the bike option? Phoned up to be told the only person that can help is back on Monday.

Curses.

Anyone wants any other ,easurements give me a shout,

Could you measure the 56 tt for me please both effective and actual. Im having a sizing crisis of confidence.

Also, may I ask, Ive booked in for stage 4 Accreditation but may be sans bike. Its Jan 11th at 10am, is bike hire included/available.

Many tanks.

Nice build, I like the blue.

Agreed. Those bluemels are nice. Is that a pompetamine? What with the disc and all?

Ah, my bad.

The wishbone was drilled. Mines a Pompino, perhaps the Pompetamine is different.

Stainless steel track ends would be great.

Mine came pre drilled, which was nice. 35mm cross tyres are a tight fit under the p35's. I realise its a cheap and cheery hack, but I'd really have liked those nice inserts at the rear dropouts. They appeal to my OCD re no marks on the paint. Je deteste.

Guards red 'Cargo'

Yes please!

Maserati? You mean the Lagonda? Thats an Aston Martin that is. :)

One day...

Do not want.

Looove these.

Is that a euphemism?

If you want it to be? :) ( I've been drinking Belgian beer since early bells, Merry crimbo fellow on one forumers, indeed all forumgungers.)

Should be okay above freezing. Depends how you 'feel' the cold. The cross jersey offers no insulation, it's perforated.

5 below? No, I wouldn't wear that cross top in such weather with just a base layer. There's no wind stopping properties at all, just cuts right through it. It looks the part but its hopeless in freezing conditions.

You could layer up with a base, cross, then wind proof gilet. On its own with a base layer is a no no for me.

It's a jersey more than a jacket.

Nice clean build Lemonade. Maybe the XL would have been a better fit? Looks a size too small the way it's set up.

Nice one. Theyre not exactly the same but as close as I'll get I think. Ta.

I've become besotted by these. The internets tells me that they were made by Bontrager. I've searched for them but its seems they're obsolete.
I thought it might be worth asking on here on the off chance that someones hoarding a pair or perhaps seen them somewhere I haven't looked.

Cheers

Ha! Ive become disillusioned with Rapha kit. I would defend anyone's right to buy it should they wish to but its just a bit too much now.

I had resisted for a long time then I folded and started buying the odd bit here and there, before you know it Im succumbing to the sufferporn and looking on ebay for the long sleeve brevet jersey, justifying it by saying, its only £200.00!

No more, Ive sold off a few bits (which holds its value presumably for the reasons alluded to above) Im going to say I don't think the quality is any great shakes. Perfectly serviceable but at the premium they charge,.. no. Its not good enough certainly not good enough to justify those prices.

The spamming they do is fairly relentless too.

In essence, its nice but a bit pricey.
