My Dolan. Currently it has a drop bar but still needs longer stem, maybe 12mm (current 100mm.) I have a Thomson seatpost being shipped to me. (The seat is now straight)

PM me pics please! Inside of forks gonna be yellow though, with LIVEWRONG, LIESTRONG on either side. Subtle as it's on the inside but a nice detail.

Carbon from china. Probably gonna get a branded fork someday. When I was building the bike I decided that I get the stem, seatpost and fork for cheap from China since they might need to be replaced with better fitting parts.

£500 seems steep to me.

Any Track Champion and Omnium users here?
Just wondering what the appropriate sized BB for such a setup is.
Thanks!

GXP BB only comes in one size.

I just ordered my PC a couple hours ago. Can't wait to get it. After 7 years riding very cheap steel frames from the 80's, I deserve an upgrade. Ordered the bare frame, so I can custom build it with chinese cheap carbon parts, and my current H plus son archetype wheelset. It will weight 7,7Kg. Will post photos when finished, although those chinese are very slow when shipping, but anyways...

Is it weird to swap the default Track Fork on the PC with the Road Fork from the FXE?
-
• #2667
Not weird at all. In fact, most people recommend it to avoid toe overlap. It seems to have a bit more or rake than the track fork. I will personaly order a road fork from china, rather than the track fork with the alpina logos.

That's what I did, I don't like the Alpina logos plus with their alu steerer they don't seem to be amazing value.

Nice one. I bought the default Dolan PC on their website but they will send it over with the Road fork instead of Track.

Same here!! can't wait to get the frame. It will take some time to get together all the parts though, but the wait will be worth it ;-D

Apologies read that wrong

current setup.
I keep swapping between drops and risers, alu and carbon fork. there's aspects to all the options I really like, I'm just too indecisive.
the alu fork is so ugly, but I like it in a weird way.
the rear hub has stripped threads one side, and the front wheel is crap, suggestions on a wheelset?
I'm thinking lo-flange, probably dura ace unless I can find a decent silver lo flange alternative, and TB14, or open pro. struggling to come up with the best setup. will be used with tan wall tyres... something like this:

Or the other way around, blue bike, pink orange fade forks
