Dolan Pre Cursa / PreCursa / Track Champion

stem worth more than the rest of the bike combined

hah, i also love it when you see pre cursa decked out with thomson and omniums

Nothing wrong with kitting a pre cursa out. For the money they are quality frames anyway.

Yeah, agree. Especially if you're gonna be riding on the street. They're not the lightest out there but they're good quality and they're solid. Bit like Thomson stuff and Omniums really only much better value :)

I made a group order since the shipping is cheaper to Lithuania this way, and one of the frames arrived with a scratched and bent headtube, what would you suggest to do? Sending the frame back would probably cost as much as the frame is worth itself..

^The "Mielec synddrome" - the wall is so thin on the lips of an integrated headset - I would seek help here on the forum on how to tool it back in it's original state. The hassle of returning a 99£'ish frame is a bigger struggle than some (easy) mechanical tricks. Placing a stick of wood (squared or round) and hit on top seems gentle but effective - derived from my intuition.

TC's current set up.

The white tyres are anti aren't they? What do you guys think?

As long as they are white in that optical gradient it puts a smile on my silly face - but after a few weeks without proper care (this?),

semi-white tyres are God awful and I'm in pain.

I'll skid the shit out of them before i gets to that :)

Sorry Husy, but I'll have to say white tyres on a predominantly white frame is anti. :)

Thought so, for some reason I just couldn't tell. When the PX is done i'll beef the TC up, tyres, new bb and maybe nomnoms.

You got the frame (the planet x one) yet?

Need to adjust a few things but its track ready

My pre cursa. Now has alpinas back on and Fsa Vision base bar.

Is that vinyl wrapped or plasti-dipped?

Vinyl

You got the frame (the planet x one) yet?

Yep I've got the frame and forks plus lots of other bits. I'm bogged down with exams and work and I don't have all the parts yet so i'll probably wait for a bit before doing the full build in a day.

Ahhh, okay - fair enough. Mine start this Monday. :( Having 7 exams on the first week is going to be hell, but hopefully the weather permits me to relieve some stress through cycling.

/Shit, hope I haven't jinxed it.

*checks forecast

I have two sets of exams which sucks. I'd love to cycle more but my knees are giving me trouble which is so annoying. Probably take time of trying to upgrade the Track champ and build the PX

vinyl wrapped

Playing along with the A23 rim, 25c GP4000s and the Dolan road fork - clearance is tight but not an issue (might be on the track fork if it's any narrower than the road fork).

I'm looking for a PC for a commuter build. Don't want to buy new, not bothered about paint condition etc
56 or 58, anyone selling?

Hi,
I got a matte black PC and thinking of a way to black the decals out. What are you guys using for that. I should not look like a child has gone mad with the pencils.

Just rattle can it.
