Purchased the frame from Dolan just before Christmas - I had been looking for a 54cm modern frame with horizontal dropouts for a while as i've been sitting on a pair of Easton EC90 forks for about 3 years; plus my existing frame has seen better days (Olmo frame). All other components were laying around and it's come together quite nicely. Took it to Bristol today and rode 45 hassle-free miles.

Frame: Dolan Pre Cursa
Forks: Easton EC90 full carbon
Wheels/Hubs: Mavic Open Sport/Ambrosio hubs
Crankset: Bianchi carbon/53T
Seatpost: Alpina carbon
Saddle: Selle Italia carbon
Brake: Campag Veloce
Lever: Cane Creek carbon
Bars: Bontrager cut-up horns
Tyres: Specialized Turbo-S

Looking to upgrade pedals & possibly wheels soon.

Looks good, how much did it all cost?

Good question.

Frame was £80 from Dolan (was in their shop soiled section as it had a small scratch to the paintwork under the BB)

Cranks and brakes were £30 from a mate

BB was £10

Wheels - bday present a few years ago

The rest of the parts (forks, stem, lever, seat, seatpost) were bits I had lying around from bikes I had bought and sold on.

How long have you been using the tyres for? I hear they're fast and light, and look good with the tan sidewall, but prone to punctures.

Purchased them in 2013, can't recall having a puncture with these to be honest!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
