Dolan Dual - Bike :: Winter/Touring Bikes :: Bikes

Dolan's Dual houses a full carbon fibre frame, Toray uni-directional , finished in what is best described as a thoroughly modern paintjob. Indeed, it elicited a thumbs up from most people who clapped eyes on it, young and old.

What really sets the Dual apart though is that simple fact that the carbon frame has been endowed with mounts and clearance for full-length mudguards with standard drop calipers. There's easily enough clearance for 25mm tyres without 'guards and some might fit with, meaning if you want just one bike to race through the summer and continue riding through the winter with the simple addition of a pair of 'guards, the Dual is it.

And the frame's flexibility doesn't end there. There's also mounts for a rack, so if you want to turn it into a commuting bike during the week to carry your panniers, or plan some touring, the Dual is more than capable. It's all starting to sound like the Dual really could be the answer to that eternal question: "If you could only have one bicycle, what would it be?"
