Dolan l etape any good?
Anyone had any experience with one? They seem quite weighty for a carbon frame but look ok value.
Interested to find out more about the frame.

Nothing new about zebra [or light controlled] crossing on roundabouts. Sheffield has had them for decades, possibly since the 1970s.

I think they did, from memory back in the 70s/80s... haven't seen one for years though, our current milkman uses a standard van, albeit hybrid.

That's true enough. But doesn't address my point that the chainset you get as a replacement will not physically fit chainrings from the chain set...

I have one as a day to day commuter / leisure bike. Yes, the frame is a little on the heavy side but not ridiculously so and it's stiff and fast and comfortable. Very nice to ride in fact. Certainly not sluggish at all. Not a flat out race bike I would say, but its rider is a very long way from being a flat out racer also.
If you can swap off the stock wheels for some Cero ones or something you'll bring the total bike weight down anyway for summer. Keep the stock ones for winter. Value for money I think better than OK, pretty hard to beat in my view. Also I prefer dealing with Dolan than some others out there.
Overall recommended.
