Dolan Pre Cursa / PreCursa / Track Champion

Thank Christ they are so expensive. I nearly had my card out.

Figured I’d throw my pre cursa back up here in its current build - so nice to ride now

Anyone know of a 56 pre cursa in grey for sale? Figure this may be a good place to ask

I'm undecided between the 52 and 54.
My height is 177cm(5'9.69) and my inseam is 79cm(31.1023622 in).

What you guys reckon?

I'm your height and rode a 52cm, felt fine but always thought a 54cm would be better. Don't know if that's helpful at all but just my experience. Think it was more to do with a longer headtube would be comfier on a longer ride.

I’m about 5’9(.5) not entirely sure what my inseam is but I definitely have proportionally long legs for my height from trying friends bikes, my old Dolan pictured above was a 54 and was set up for me like that

178cm here and thought my 54 was perfect

Oh I see. 54 should be then

That's too much of a drop for me.

Today I'll try out the 52 and then see how does that fit, but I'm already pretty decided on the 54. Let's see. Thanks guys!

Anyone want to get rid of a Dolan PC 54 with a possibility to ship to EU?

I'm idly thinking about future projects. Has anyone got the FXE? Is the quoted tyre clearance of 25 max with mudguards accurate? I'd ideally want something that could fit more like 32c under guards.

I had one and there is discussion on clearance further back in this thread (I'm on mobile right now so can't find it). Seem to remember 28s being the fattest. Can check later. I'd probably look at Surly for 32 type of riding. The FXE is more like a track frame that has been tweaked.

Pre Cursa the ultimate do it all bike?

Nice work :)

Yeah, that or a Pompino I reckon! It's all purely hypothetical at the moment anyway.

Unbelievable! Good effort.

Holy moly spacer stack

Looks fun! Any reason not to go for a size or two up?

@Rodolfo yeah LoL, it could be some sort of record?

@ltc there hasn't been much pre cursas for sale here recently, so I decided to give it a try when this one appeared. Oddly it feels quite good to ride tbh - but yes it looks a bit weird :)

I took mine round the block today <3
While I’m here, did we ever decide what the widest tyre we can get in the back of a PC is?

A friend ran a 32 with the wheel right the back of the track ends for a while…
