has rear-brake cable braze-ons, subtle, not too intrusive. nice sized tubing. a 6.5 out of 10. :)

jonlubi · 24th April 2008

I doubt it.

dougal · 24th April 2008

I've seen a couple out and about in the flesh. They look pretty good.

Frame and fork only.

MrSmith · 24th April 2008

it's the same tubing as a bareknuckle (com12), maybe it is a bareknuckle?

Christ, that's a lot. Can get a Bianchi Pista Concept f&f for that.

Depends what you're after though.

Bianchi concept is a lot more hip hop slave. Some might not like it.

RPM · 24th April 2008

the problem is the shit fork and 1" head tube..

it limits you to s/h carbon forks, fucking expensive easton ones or £60 deda blackforce if you can find any.

£325 approx gets you a surly or a BJ, both of which I'd probably take over that.

if it was under £250 I'd say yay.

however, it's not shit tubing, and the geo looks ok'ish.

just no point in doing a new bike with 1" IMO

SSSasky · 24th April 2008

It's definitely not a bareknuckle. Bareknuckle is 1 1/8 threadless and has a way nicer fork. Way nicer.

The Dolan's not bad looking, but I'd take the surly over it for the same price.

dogsballs · 25th April 2008

surly's are ugly mofo's!!

teddy · 26th April 2008

blb had a white dolan built up in their window for ages. it's a nice looking bike.

Walkersan · 28th April 2008

Terry Dolan is not a nice person!

I once sent him an email about a bike he built and he never responded!

I thought the waiting list for a Pista Concept was 4 years or something?

hippy · 1 Week Ago

Waiting list for a Bianchi? There's some sick in the head people out there..
