Can anybody with experience of a Dolan Road Bike tell me what they're like please?

Thinking of getting one as my race/weekend/summer bike but I've no idea if they are decent quality for the price.

Came very close to buying an Ares on the back of this review http://www.dolannews.co.uk/bike-test-dolan-ares-by... but bought the RS instead as it just seemed to suit what I wanted a bit more. In short, great bikes, shockingly good value for money, huge history, mostly on the track but the Ares was used by the Sean Kelly An Post road team in 2011/12 to good effect. They are very well finished and I've ridden a Mythos which is the low end of their carbon bikes and it felt as good as anything else at that price range with perfect long distance geometry and a simple design. I do still look at the Ares every now and then....

They have a few stockists around the Country but their factory/shop is just north of Warrington or thereabouts and worth a visit.

Thanks very much for that, just what I was after.

I think I'm going to take a plunge on them for my main race/summer bike then, one of the Carbon models.

And they do 0% finance... laugh
