The relatively short head-tube and low riding position will please those who like to climb aggressively, and the fork’s exemplary lateral stiffness and pinpoint accurate steering responses inspire confidence to feather the brakes into and out of corners on fast descents. Built in Italy, the Tuono is the top model in Dolan’s road bike range and uses unidirectional nanotube (UDN) carbon that is so new only Terry Dolan has it. There are lighter frames out there but the use of an intermediate density carbon promises better durability. The flattened chainstays – just 18mm thick at their narrowest, help to dissipate vibrations, and the dropouts are capped with alloy for durability. The 100 percent carbon forks and a headset are included in the frame-only package and the frame angles are the same regardless of the size selected Click Here to Buy CyclingNews - Dolan Tuono SE - 4.5/5Heralded British framebuilder Terry Dolan brings his name to US soil with a new distributor, DPM Sports, along with a new line of carbon frames. Dolan is noted for creating rigs for the likes of David Millar, Chris Boardman and Bradley Wiggins (not to mention scores of other notable road and track riders), but his carbon models now offer some of that legendary Dolan design wisdom to those without a heap of cash in their wallets (or Terry Dolan's phone number on their speed dial). more........
