Have looked at a few bikes to replace my stolen Madone 5.2 sl and quite like the look and spec on these. Seem to get a better spec than standard shop stock.

Anyone riding one and what is it like?

Funny you should ask - mine was delivered 10 days ago and I'm loving it ๐Ÿ™‚
Had a Giant TCR before it so I can only compare with that. It was an older TCR A1 which was the carbon/alu mix so the Dolan is my first full carbon bike.
I ticked the SRAM Force groupset and Ksyrium Elite wheel options. I decided on the blue over the standard red but you can pick from a range of colours.
I'd recommend a visit to them if you are not too far away. It was a 2 and a half hr drive for me but well worth it.
Suppose you'd like a picture ๐Ÿ˜‰

Thanks for putting another idea in my head! Some nice looking bikes and good prices...

I was looking at Sram red with Ksyrium SL's, good that you can customise the paint scheme to. Currently offering the paint option FOC - so quite tempted.

I looked at the SRAM red with SL's but hadnt the funds to go that bit further! No complaints with the force at all.
They are a really good bunch of guys.
They gave me a tour of the paint shop and the warehouse. Fitted me up on the rollers so I knew when it was delivered it should be right for me. Told me 2 and a half weeks for delivery and they were bang on. I'm hoping to visit them for a winter bike but don't tell the mrs' ๐Ÿ˜‰
