nice dogma.
didn't like it, too stiff for my old bones.
accelerates well though. but i like the soft cushy colnago ;-)

Burning Brakes
NTY and CGOMEZ. I have Lightweights too but sadly broke them in crash in Thailand. Will have to send it to Alexander for repair.
I love Colnago's. I used to have one about 4 yrs ago. Now I ride a King 3.
However, I'm looking at the new Look 695 SR. Awesome new tech in it. I think this bike takes it to a new level.

CGOMEZ - I've been thinking about getting a bike roof rack for my GT3.1 RS but honestly the last thing I wanna deal with after a hard ride is that hard clutch. Much easier on your 7 TT.
Didn't know a lot of you guys were roadies. Happy to discover that. Nothing like a good ride with your brain being soaked with all that blood! Endorphin rush! woot woot!

LOL after a hard right, so much endorphin, you wont feel anything. stiff clutch no prob.
but if you do mount on roof, be careful.
i had my ellsworth ID on top of a turbo beetle 6 years ago, i drove straight into my garage after a long tough ride. broken top tube, dented roof.... scared the crap out of my neighbors, chewed out by my wife and pissed off my sister, as it was her beetle.

Wow... Looks like many of us love things with wheels. I always wonder if there are real use for those rack brackets on GT3's roof. I was so very wrong..
I love my lightweight too. They beautify any bikes out there. Love using them for crit races.

I tried the Porsche roof transport system for carrying a bike on the GT3...once. The stiff GT3 suspension (even with PASM = normal) causes a lot of scary bouncing of anything carried on the roof, and I was afraid of the bike being thrown off the roof. I don't use it any more.

Just like with cars, to each their own, but as a former semi-pro mountain, road, & 'cross racer who now rides a welded steel frame, fork, & stem for my road bike, I will never go back to carbon. : )
