Video just in: Pinnacle Dolomite SS
The latest bike to cross the road.cc threshold is the £525 Pinnacle Dolomite SS, the SS standing for singlespeed.
This bike, built around a 6061-T6 heat treated aluminium frame and an aluminium/cromo steel fork, features Tektro Spyre mechanical disc brakes and will take 32mm tyres, or 28mm tyres if you want to fit mudguards.
The last singlespeed we reviewed here on road.cc was the £499.99 Charge Plug 1 (below). That bike also has a 6061 aluminium frame although braking comes courtesy of Tektro CR-710 cantis.
VecchioJo said, “The Charge Plug 1 is a good looking commute, cyclo-cross, gravel, bit of everything bike with a simple alloy frame and fork, even more basic singlespeed drivetrain, and unremarkable parts and wheels.”
The Genesis Flyer singlespeed (below) that we review last year is now £649.99. The frame is made from, seamless double butted chromoly and it has Promax RC-482 calliper brakes.
We called it a “well-considered singlespeed workhorse with a lovely frame and decent spec for the money”.
It was Dave Atkinson who reviewed the Genesis and he’s going to be thrashing the Pinnacle around the streets over the next few weeks. He’ll be back with a full review soon.

Are we voting for the most impressive jersey or the star(s) that wore them ? Hinault vs Merckx or the colourful jersey vs plain orange ?

So would I be better getting a centaur 11speed and saving on new freehub and bottom bracket or would they still need changing?
