    So, on another thread Dave Atkinson was flirting Pro-Lite Bracciano’s at us all 😀 which got me (and probably the OP) drooling. However, in a shootout with the Fulcrum Racing 3’s linked to by Mikeh789 above, does anyone have any opinions on a winner?

    i can understand some of the
    i can understand some of the negativety, but someone has got to be the one of the 1st! the frame pictured, and frame giometry is all i and a few mates had to go by, and a couple of comments from our american cousins, and they all seemed positive! as for ebay, after some detective work it seems its the same company making all the frames.
    i will find out good or bad soon enough. if it all goes tits up, at least i can inform everyone on here, and STW to keep clear. the saving grace is, DHgate dont release my money from paypal until ive opened the package and am happy with what ive got, and have contacted their site to do so…….! im hopeful that that will be my saviour.

    It’ll probably be fine.

    They’re all made in the same place anyway, no matter what anyone says. 👿

    you would get a much better
    you would get a much better frame on ebay or ribble for the same money.Just stay away from Pinarello as they are faked so much,the quality of these frames tend to be very poor.Usally around the bottom bracket area.You can often pick up a secondhand scott cr1 or giant tcr for around the same price and you know that way you are going to get a frame that performs well.With a real dogma your paying for high modules carbon( 60HMM1K carbon by Torayca with nanoalloy )and a wind tunnel tested frame.just copying the shape from a photo in a lower grade material dont cut it.Trying to copy the asymetrics of this frame make it a much more difficult job and tends to give them an inferior result then a conventionally shaped frame.Hope you get lucky and get a good copy.let us know.

    been window shopping on the net, and come to realise that ultegra goes for about the same price as 105 gear?

    im newish to road stuff, as been racing xc for a few years, and decided to do some serious road miles around W Sussex.been using my trusty 2010 trek 1.5, but its dirty, and i need to upgrade…………
    what sort of wheelset can i get for around £350? hopefully they be lightish too?

    as soon as the frame turns up i will post some pictures, and comments.

    B-)

    I think it will be a while before you can get a fake EPS system, but there are plenty of other fake parts out there

    The difference between this and Ribble/PX etc is probably the lack of a CE mark.

    yeah didnt think of that one, also if it does fail on you its far easier to contact PX etc etc (and get a replacement).

    mind you think i’m just gonna carry on saving the pennies for something else..(handmade and 953 i suspect, mmmm. nice.)
