Here is a quick pic with a black Aliante I had in the parts bin. Probably need to get a carbon braided one but this will do for now. That Pina saddle was killing me.

I put 430km on it in the last 5 days. It is a very nice riding bike. Very impressed how stable and precise it is going downhill.
EPS takes very little to get used to. Not sure I will get addicted to it though.

I am considering getting a Dogma F8. The question is would I be better to get a lighter bike. I am 190lbs (loosing weight) but still a big guy. I live in a town with several big climbs 1hr+/-. In some respects I need all the help I can get.
Main reason for a new bike, tired of my 07 madone. Love the looks of these, and I test road one. The bike feels so solid, and great transfer of power. I rode an Emonda as well, It definitely felt lighter and rode really well for a light bike. Part of me just wants something different then the big 3 brands. Also I wonder about the old arguement of light versus planted feel.
TIA
Newbie.

You should not be disappointed, i really like mine and it gets the call most of the time compared to the other bikes.
Some more recent pics. I now have 4000km on it, this is a great bike. I am also liking EPS quite a lot as well.

I put close to 1k miles on it but then I hurt my back a few months ago so I have only put 20 miles on it with these wheels. But I still love it. I really like the new wheels too, it really adds to the snappy feel.

The new F8 design made me also switch... the old ones were too fancy for me with the curves in it... behhhh.
But the F8..... hmmmm
