everything is amazing.. except how do you find the muddy marys? I ran the big betty's this year and hated them so i'm a little bias against schwalbe at the moment..

oliefr (Dec 18, 2011 at 14:53)

I still havnt had a proper ride Frown

but first impressions and word from other people i know who use them is flawless. Compound feels good and for the UK (generally muddy) they are ment to shed the mud well.

oliefr (Jan 3, 2012 at 8:23)

Ok i have ridden now (FINALLY!) and the muddy marys held awsomely! only lost grip when i wanted to and could predict the tyre very well. Fast rolling too.

Smells (Jan 5, 2012 at 22:48)

Thats awesome, hah thanks for coming back for an update too thats sweet. God damn I'm jealous that you were ripping that thing, and can ride period theres too much snow here.

Does the lower crown on the forks hit the down tube on full lock ?

oliefr (Feb 22, 2012 at 23:05)

No, its just the 40s that have that problem but the frame comes with a spacer to overcome this problem if you did want to put 40s on it.

cretin82 (Mar 30, 2012 at 23:19)

not gonna lie that bike is pro. accept for the x9 shifter.

oliefr (Apr 1, 2012 at 5:17)

the shifter is X0, mech is X9. really couldnt see any need to spend nearly £100 more on an X0 mech for 2g weight saving.

cretin82 (Apr 1, 2012 at 12:51)

there is no need for it, but it would make it that more dialled

Wow, first good looking pair of dorados I've ever seen!

scatology (Jan 29, 2012 at 9:41)

I like this demo with the dorado! Is this custom stickers ?

[Reply]

ellsworthdare (Dec 7, 2011 at 10:27)

Nice dorado stickers, where did you get them?

oliefr (Dec 7, 2011 at 11:10)

they are the 2012 Dorados, black and white for this year. I did want to get the 2011 ones because of the red and black decals but i think it might have been a bit much colour coordination, happy with black and white Smile

beeboo (Dec 7, 2011 at 13:30)

Apache249 (Mar 14, 2012 at 18:57)

Just curious, but how much is it?

oliefr (Mar 15, 2012 at 0:41)

total build price is about £6000, not sure what that is in USD?

Apache249 (Mar 15, 2012 at 7:17)

Damn, son! That's ~$9400. I hope it finds a nice home. Why are you selling it?

oliefr (Mar 15, 2012 at 13:00)

I wasn't using it as much as i wanted to and its a lot of money to be sat in the garage not doing anything! rode it at the weekend though and i think i just have to keep it and just ride it when i can, its such an awesome bike!
