Considering a Dogma 2 build, had a weight and seatpost Q
Moderator: robbosmans
Hi all,
So, I was thinking of getting a Dogma 2, now that they had dropped in price.
1) what is the weight of the frame? Can I expect a weight of sub 1000g for a size 53 or 54?
2) what are the post options? 25mm setback is too much, I need something between 0 and 20, as I run a 6.7cm of setback on my saddle, at a height of 75.3cm from the BB.
Thanks!

Weight of frame, likely at the very least 1200 grams

on the post thing, although it has a decent amount of offset, there's a good amount of room to slide the saddle fore/aft. if you need it more forward, im sure a little "customizing" of the upper cradle can fix that.
...and no way itll be 1kg. on top of that, the fork is a pig.

OK, thanks. Sounds like a heavy bike....I will probably pass. The SuperSix EVO I saw on the scale the other day was 760g in gloss black (complete frame, including seatpost collar ect), 310g for the fork and crown race. I might go that route instead. The Dogma looks sexy, though; it is hard to justify spending more to get a frame that probably weighs a good 500g more, plus the seatpost issue.
If the Dogma 2 is so heavy, why are they so darn expensive? Does the ride quality and stiffness more than offset the heavy weight? I think my old Fondriest that I bought back in 2004 weighed less than that.....
Thanks for the input though!

I wouldn't rule out a frame based solely on weight.
The dogma will more than likely ride a lot better than some 800gram frame.
Pinarello get a lot of stick about the weight of their frames on here - but do you think they design the Dogma to 1200/1300g because they are not capable of designing something lighter - I doubt it.

Pinarello were going to make the Dogma2 sub 1000g, but they went to the bar to have a cafe instead.

Frames don't win races, riders do.

That's why I'm not concerned about a little extra weight.
