Video just in: Pinnacle Dolomite SS
The latest bike to cross the road.cc threshold is the £525 Pinnacle Dolomite SS, the SS standing for singlespeed.
This bike, built around a 6061-T6 heat treated aluminium frame and an aluminium/cromo steel fork, features Tektro Spyre mechanical disc brakes and will take 32mm tyres, or 28mm tyres if you want to fit mudguards.
The last singlespeed we reviewed here on road.cc was the £499.99 Charge Plug 1 (below). That bike also has a 6061 aluminium frame although braking comes courtesy of Tektro CR-710 cantis.
VecchioJo said, “The Charge Plug 1 is a good looking commute, cyclo-cross, gravel, bit of everything bike with a simple alloy frame and fork, even more basic singlespeed drivetrain, and unremarkable parts and wheels.”
The Genesis Flyer singlespeed (below) that we review last year is now £649.99. The frame is made from, seamless double butted chromoly and it has Promax RC-482 calliper brakes.
We called it a “well-considered singlespeed workhorse with a lovely frame and decent spec for the money”.
It was Dave Atkinson who reviewed the Genesis and he’s going to be thrashing the Pinnacle around the streets over the next few weeks. He’ll be back with a full review soon.

Don't be ridiculous! Obviously you carry her house to your bath using a cargo bike.
looks like you need some sort of mini surfboard to protect yourself https://twitter.com/AmericanFietser/status/1544458680917180422
I'm sure your dying words will be about lancs police failure to take action !
(Typo alert: In the Marcel Kittel section, "And the like with cycling?" should be "And the link with cycling?")
some issues can come down to course selection, and for a triathlon there are running and swimming legs to account for. I had cause to be driving...
How the AF did they manage to get their car up there???
Not really. Or, at least, not exactly the same thing. I wasn't commenting on fast vs slow, which would fit into your analogy better....
Doesn't sound like you did anything wrong... when buying anything at all via an online marketplace we're all taking a risk and I would have done...
Token do some good square taper bottom brackets, I have three on the family Islabikes. The bearings needed to be replaced after a couple of seasons...
I guess if you conduct a few small scale studies, too small to produce statistically significant results, they will likely throw up some...
