I'm seriously considering replacing one of my alu frames with a steel one. Maybe a Cotic/Sanderson/Pipedream. It would be great to see any steel bikes Which you think i should consider.
cheers

Jackass - is your love/hate the bike that Mike@Dialled said was one of only 200?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Yeah!!
Hi Lee and thanks for the glowing report on the Love/Hate. It’s really great when I hear from customers and how they have connected with their Dialled Bikes frame. In fact, it kinda makes it all worthwhile and justifies why I do this.
Unfortunately, sales of Love/Hates have really slowed down recently, so the current stock may actually be the last Love/Hates ever as at the moment, I couldn’t justify ordering another batch. So take good care of that Love/Hate as it is currently 1 of only 200 ever made!
Regards
Mike

I have a custom Shand in columbus, will try and look out a pic.
Also a steel Ritchey road bike.

Cool - I've got one of those too, in the same colour, its nice to know its a bit of an exclusive one. Its an aweseom frame too so I'm surprised it never really took off. I guess there is a bit of competition in the SS market though.

Steel is for people who can't afford titanium.

Loving the Kinesis Decade, plus the flexibility is appealing.

Steel is for people who think Alu frames are dull and titanium frames crack at the welds, eventually.

This one's is a pre-production prototype, and hence the only Enigma ever to be made in the far east.. Apparently they decided that their welding and quality was better, so 3rd hand down the line I got a Columbus frame for peanuts.
This one had "Melbourne specific geometry" whatever that is...Posted 2 years ago # -
