For Sale: Dolan TC1 58cm - Mavic Ellipse, Sugino DD75, 3T Sphinx

Despite giving it a few goes I don't really like bunch racing and am planning to focus on pursuits this year. As such I'm looking to sell my Dolan track bike and reinvest the money in something with a more pure pursuit geometry.

The is a full bike, in the Dolan SE Spec which means:
58cm TC1 Frameset
Sugino DD75 Cranks and BB
Mavic Ellipse Wheels
Izumi Chain
Sells Italia X1 saddle
It's running a 47T on the front, 14T on the back,

I've swapped out the bars for 3T Sphinx and I'll include the original Deda bars and stem which are wired up to an FSA gossamer brake so you can use it as a road going fixie too if you want.

The condition of this is pretty much showroom - it's been used about 15 times, only on velodromes (Newport and Reading). I've given the chain a good clean to remove any traces of the muck from the Reading circuit.

I'm happy to leave the Exustar Keo pedals on or remove them depending on if you need them or not.

I'm looking for £600. I can meet in Reading or north London (Finchley area) where I work. West London's pretty easy for me to get to as well.

I might possibly consider an offer for the Frameset only or Frameset and bars but as I already have wheels for pursuiting I'll probably just build up whatever I go for next from scratch rather than moving components over.

Forgot to mention the cranks are 165mm

If you split and don't want to keep the DD75s i'm interested in them

I would also like to register my interest in the DD75s in case of split

Also interested in DD's. Cheers. Tom

Thanks folks, I've had 5 PM's about the cranks too! Clearly they're popular. It would be easiest to sell the whole bike but may split if there's no interest in the next few days.

Dips for crankset and 3r sphinx if on sale.
Thanks

PM'd you SebbyBear

I am now splitting this. The cranks and bars are currently spoken for (I had an inbox full of PM's on the cranks so have gone with the first person to get in touch), but I will post if this changes. Otherwise I'm looking for:

Ellipse Wheels: £200 (happy to throw the tyres in with these if needed)
TC1 Frame: £200
Deda bars with FSA brake: £15 (or I might throw them in with the frame if wanted)
Saddle: £10

I'll keep the chain for now and see how the size works on the new bike, if it's not long enough I'll let it go for a few beer tokens.

Dibs on the wheels, pm'd you. Cheers.

PM replied to. Forgot to mention on the frame I have a box and packaging materials so can post that at cost if required.

Looks like very nice kit at very good price GLWS but out of interest why would A TC1 not be suitable for pursuiting?

I run a long and low aero position - Time Trialling is my main discipline and I use a 58CM Cervelo P4 with only about 20mm of risers off the base bar. The head tube on the Dolan is a bit too high for me to replicate that position, I might be able to with a crazy drop stem but also quite fancy another project and this could be getting much more love from someone else!

I wasn't saying your logic was wrong - just interested.
Remember for UCI regs you can't move saddle to forward limit inline with bb AND have bars at forward limit of 80 infront of bb - it's one or the other.
I run mine like this:-

Very nice! Particularly with the front disk - highly jealous...

I'm an odd shape with a very long body so have my saddle 7cm behind the BB and extensions on the 80cm limit. I might play with the saddle a bit to see if I can get more explosive power (particularly if I do any kilos) but will keep an eye to make sure it stays in compliance with the regs - thanks!

dibs frame and wheels (if not already gone) pm'd

Dibs on the deda bars and brakes.
