I've owned a Dolce Sport for a little over a year and love it. In fact, it started my love affair with road bikes (I have three others plus a dropped bar single speed). As my first road bike in over 30 years, it was much more comfortable than what I ever thought it could be. It took a couple of rides to get comfortable with the feel of it on the road, but that was it. I actually started riding it on a trainer first. I think the Dolce Sport is a great starter road bike.

Enjoy,
