    I'm trying to decide between one of these frameset to be built up with an SRAM Force groupset. I think there roughly the same weight and there isn't really much in price between them. Does anyone have experience of either or would you recommend one over the other?

    Thanks..!

    No experience of the ridley but have owned one of the Dolans before - was appreciably light and had a good combination of stiffness and comfort about it - perfect for sportives and a even a bit of racing. Would have a hard time faulting it TBH.

    I've a Dolan Hercules and find it great. Agree with all said above light, stiff etc etc. Find it very good while climbing compared to previous bike (Trek). Got a free paint job on it, as wasn't too keen onthe black and white. Only downside is can't carry two large bottle due to sloping tube.

    Looks like I'm not gonna be getting either of these frames now, I'll be getting a Dolan Ares instead. Has anyone rode one of these, any good?
