Fearless Greg Lemond said:The beauty of it they are trying to sell off last years flagship [Dogma 65] as a dog with no legs.
When one does a tiny bit of 'research' one will see on the Pinarello site the 10% less weight is for the frame and fork, so, that means aproximately about 120 grams of weightloss for the bike. I once read somewhere 1 kg means about 20 seconds on a climb like Alpe de Bore, so what impact would 120 grams have?
Lets hope the 'dirty air' behind the new Dogma will not sufficate the other bikers on the road
Indeed, pure boll@cks.

Cycling mags are becoming more like Hi Fi ones, reviews of bikes aimed at weekend warriors, talk about 0.5 kg of extra weight supposedly holding the reviewer back on a short climb, new super carbon configurations leading to more direct `power transfer', stomping on the pedals immediately resulted in acceleration, blah, blah....! Sky's praise of this new bike is clearly aimed at being incorporated into such reviews word for word, accompanied, of course, by a full-page Pina advert.
