Dolan Pre Cursa / PreCursa / Track Champion

That fork looks nice. Looking forward to hearing about clearance.

Just noticed Cougar custom builds are on the Dolan site:

Apologies if it's been posted previously.

Does anyone have a picture of a Pre Cursa with a steel fork? Having a hard time picturing it, I'd have to see it to know how much of a bad idea it would be.

my old Dolan pre cursa had a Pake disc fork. I thought it fit nicely.

Bad is good

Saw this on IG recently:

I have one with surly steamroller forks, lemme trail the thread for a link to a picture

Edit: can't figure out on phone, it's somewhere in this thread

Advice wanted: What size BB for a Pre-Cursa (current model) with fluted Andel cranks?

Struggling with headset standards due to ignorance on my part.

Headset replacement for pre cursa - I'd rather not more so I'm trying to see if there are any generic equivalents that'll do the job.

I assume all 1 1/8 straight integrated headsets aren't created equal so this probably won't do a job? Worst case I'll just buy the aplina one from Dolan

Thanks!

Precursas take 36x45: https://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/type-1-headset-bearings-36x45-degree-cane-creek-compatible-x2.htm

Thank you! I also need a crown race and possibly a compression ring- again excusing ignorance but are they hearing specific?

Use the old ones

When I swapped out my fork I got the £12.49 brand-x integrated headset for the various little bits/spares. Used the crown race definitely, can't remember if I swapped the bearings

Sorry should have been clearer - I'm a cretin and managed to lose the crown race and compression ring while in storage

Hmm seems like regardless of bearings those parts should be interchangeable then - good!

Okay after actually reading instead of being lazy and coming here - bearings in that Brand-X headset should do the job. Thanks all!

Late to this and shit photo but I’ve got Decade Kenesis Truth forks on mine

anyone else bought from Dolan recently? I placed an order for a pre cursa frameset 3 weeks ago, still not posted...

Planning to build it up as a city speedster, used to have a 58 but figured the 60 fits me better.

However, as I'm furloughed and got some time on my hand, thought about re-painting the frame. I saw a few builds out there that were re-done in new colors, anyone in this forum done that?

Planning to sand it down with coarse sandpaper then going finer and finer... How easy is it to get the paint off the new pre cursas? For finish I thought about spray.bike, either a fade or a base color then mask for some motives and paint over. Any better option than spray.bike?

Will share the result here as well as either in anti or hhsb...

This is still one of my favourites
