They’re not nicknamed crack champ for nothing. A lot of the older ones cracked there. Not sure about the reissue newer ones

Having to modify returned Track Champions to fit a traditional seat collar after cracking, presumably, was one of the main reasons why Dolan stopped making it.
The TC1, released a few years after they stopped selling the original, resolved the issue by using a traditional seat collar (that matches the elliptical profile of the seat tube). -
I’ve seen quite a lot of Crack Champs at work.
Never seen one that wasn’t cracked.

A quick question for Track Champion bods:
Are there issues with the seat post clamp area cracking?
I went to look at a tidy TC the other day only to find a crack in the top of the clamp inline with the countersunk stop (for want of a better description). The owner didn't think it was a real issue but I did. Just wondered if people have had similar experiences?
Why Dolan didn't use a plan seat post clamp is odd.
Cheers Jon
