Dolan Pre Cursa / PreCursa / Track Champion

Short stem PC's everywhere - dealing with 75 degree ST and modern top tube bike fit fools both the new&old kids on the block.

I recently aquired a Dolan PC frame. moved otherwise stock Fuji Track BB and cranks over.

In the unlikely event that anyone else does this, to get the chainline, you need to put the chainring on the inside of the spider, then use a 2.5 spacer on the BB.
or at least this worked for me as a temporary fix before I upgrade both cranks and BB.

Is the stronglight crankset generally best avoided on this frame to get a 42mm chainline?

Spent some time on a calculator... I can get into sensible stack/reach territories on a 52PC with a 80mm/17° stem on 2cms of spacers.
Sensible meaning comparable to what I ride at the moment with bullhorns. Time to buy some compact bars and experiment...

Or just get the 52cm Genesis Madison track frameset?

It's a proper track geo, 74/74 angle too, mean you probably can get away with the 54cm.

I fitted the Stronglight's on a Pre Cursa with no issues at all.

On what BB if I may ask?
That Genesis sure looks nice....

i have a Stronglight crank on my Pre Cursa too. No issues and i used a 107 BB

Help! Anyone please tell me which way I am meant to be unscrewing a BB cup on the drive side of the PC?

thanks ML!
it was to the rear wheel.

how are people removing the logos on Dolans? Would like to remove the top tube and seat tube logo.. looks a lot cleaner.

Sandpaper and black spray paint... (Assuming it's a matt black Pre Cursa)

Anyone running Omniums with the GXP bottom bracket on a Pre Cursa? Any advice? Any probs with chain-line etc?

Straight forward @kaiseroscar

Sweet. Thanks man
