The English bikes look lovely.

Met and ridden with Rob (the owner/designer) a couple of times too, pretty handy bike rider winning Gorrick Enduro/Bristol Bike Fest Solo on a rigid!

Far better to be riding/racing something you love, than some space ship that promises 3 more places up the LVRC ladder ,and turns you in to one of those super serious old codgers with the 1000 yard stare. 😆 😉

whilst a Pinarello Prince I would happily just hang on my wall and never use.

Firstly, you have no taste.
Secondly, not using it is good cos it'd only break if you did use it!

The new Dogma with the green accents would certainly do! Woulnd't pay £3500 for a frame, but I do like the look of them!

A 16lb-handmade-in-his-garage rigid none the less, scary!

If I was starting from scratch I'd go with Campag. But all my other stuff is Shimano so SRAM for the crossover and it's a fair bit lighter.

I have to admit, that despite just getting my hands on a new carbon road bike; I ride past Holdsworth Cycles every day and the Orange Steel bikes they have in the window look awesome.

And they appear to have 10% off them at the moment too 🙄
