Travel By Bike Thursday - SPECIALIZED DOLCE/SECTUR

Today we are doing a two-fer - Specialized Dolce/Sectur is a bike that would make a great commuter bike and for some shorter tours would be a less expensive option than some bikes out there on the market today.  The Dolce is the ladies version and Sectur is men's geometry.

We will start off by highlighting the middle of the road Dolce Sport Compact that has a MSRP of $990.00



Every key component of the Dolce was specifically selected for the female rider looking to tackle everything from the weekend workout to the upcoming century ride. The Dolce Sport Compact has an A1 Aluminum frame with women's endurance geometry and Zertz for a responsive, yet forgiving ride. The Shimano Sora compact drivetrain provides reliable and quiet shifting.
  • A1 alloy frame with women's endurance geometry, hydroformed alloy seatstays and Zertz provides a quick, responsive, yet forgiving ride
  • Lightweight FACT carbon fork for precision steering through tight turns, with Zertz inserts to absorb road chatter
  • Tough, durable three cross Axis Classic wheel with J bend spokes; Espoir Sport road tire with double BlackBelt puncture protection for a reliable ride
  • FSA Tempo Compact 9-speed crankset is, plus Shimano Sora drivetrain for durability with reliable and quiet shifting
  • Body Geometry Women's Riva 155mm features generous padding for all-day performance and comfort

For more information on the Dolce or Sectur stop by the shop, give us a call, or send us an e-mail.  There are other levels available in both models as well.  I just picked the middle ground to give you an idea for a commuter/touring bike that is not as top of the line as some of the models we have highlighted recently.
