From what I understand Dolan bikes will only be available to buy via their own website from 2012 onwards. Shame as I liked the look of a few models and not really a fan of the online approach.

Which Dolan are you thinking of getting?

Haven't ridden one but they have a few of them in The Edge down here and they look like a fine bike, nicely finished too!

Get in touch with them! I follow them on twitter @dolan_bikes they seem to be a small personal company. Am sure they will answer your questions better than any of us....
