In the hunt for a new road frame. But which one? What would you get?

Thinking dogma, but not sure...

Pinarello Dogma and some Team Sky kit.

I saw a chap with this setup today. He looked very professional and was riding in an aggressive manner. A credit to the sport.

Have you got a budget? What do you want it for?

Nah, don't bother with an expensive one.
Just get a nice cheap one and put the rest of the money towards a centrifuge and legal costs.

It really does depend on what you intend to use it for.

I'm lucky enough to have a couple of road bikes. Ive got my steel winter bike I use for bike rides out in the hills.

But then some days I throw on my best lycra, pour some water on my head, fit my Oakleys, unzip my jersey and saddle up on my carbon racer for a few quick laps round town.

Usually I just hammer it round 3 to 4 times when its busy on a saturday evening. Bosh a couple of gels (slinging the wrappers over my shoulder with reckless abandon) and see how many cars I can pass.

The dogma and sky kit sounds a great idea.

Get your name on the top tube too, even better if you are not in a team and don't race.

Top tip from Mr Smith but don't be suprised if other riders mistakenly keep calling you Fred.
