Hi All,
just finished cleaning one of my ever expanding ‘herd’ and decided to change the only part of my Dogma 60.1 that was slightly marked, the handlebar tape – it was white. However, the three main colours of the frame (Pinarello 536) which is primarily white with black and metal-flake silver detailing. Trying to keep this colour scheme going, I have toyed with the idea of using silver carbon effect bar tape so it’s spotless for the potential new owner, not advertised it yet – but what do you think on the silver carbon tape,,,,,,,, opinions please. B-)

Regards,

Trikeman. 😉

The Colnago is a beautiful machine to ride for sure, however it’s a very close run thing between them. They both have their good points but in slightly different areas – I’m a Colly guy through and through and just can’t seem to shake off my ‘attachment’ with them. :X

I really wish I could keep both.

Go for one Redmeat, you wont look back. 😉

Redmeat,
I’m sure if you cross my palm with a copious amount of silver the Dogma could indeed be in your possession – with black Pinarello bar tape too. 8>

Sell her one then and keep the Pina 😀

Seriously, I can’t say my wife has been out much on it (and been off a couple of times) but it has made her understand my hobby that much more.*

* that said she is very good when it comes to my bike buying / bike accessory purchases.

Do you know SD, when I broke
Do you know SD, when I broke my ankle off I thought, genuinely, I would never ride again. I put my Ti Sabbath September up for sale and it sold almost straight away and as soon as it went I regretted it – it truly was a bike for all riding, by now she would have the mudguards on and off to go but someone else is enjoying it now. :S

I bought my Wife a bike a while ago but she fell off first ride, so in the garage it went,,,,,, still there under a pile of boxes – she won’t ride again.

Regards,

Trikeman. 😉

Don’t you just love peer pressure – Thanks Guys, BLACK with a white ‘Pinarello’ running through it has just been ordered.

Agh’ SD – SWMBO has declared “if you’ve gone and bought another Colnago, then one of the others must go”…. 🙁 She wouldn’t even let me hang it on the living room wall. Anyway, I will advertise this immaculate Dogma (complete with new bar tape) here first, I just hate putting anything on eBay. ~X(

Hi trikeman.

Don’t sell it is the first bit of advice ~X( 😉

But if you must, then black gets my vote .

The duct tape look doesn’t do it for me either…looks like pipe lagging actually…not too sure about zebra striping either…but half black/half white might be a better option. or all black with a perforated design.

Sorry, not a fan of the silver. From the distance the pics are taken from it appears dirty to me. Would go with either classic black or black & white tape like on my bars.

Doesn’t do it for me, I’m afraid. With that set up I’d go for black.
