Here is mine, similar spec to the off the peg one but the only things I got from Dolan were the Frame set, headset, front brake and seatpin.
I built this up as a jack of all trades, I wanted a single speed cross bike to tow my sons baby trailer round the park and that got me thinking I could get a grass track bike and race it as well then it evolved into this multirole machine which I will also use for some indoor track riding and some hillclimbs. I've also worked out if I put a low pro bar on it and some tri bars I can use it for TTs as well so its seems to be a very versatile bike.
Front brake for the road.
