Cheers mate. To be honest I'm not that fussed with getting it perfect. In any case I'll be riding it with 35mm black rims some of the time. Although, now you've put the idea in my head, I have got a nice silver crankset sitting here...maybe I'll try it.
I really don't think there is much in it between this frame and the v-sprint (Track Champion ripoff for the unititiated). This frame lacks the rear wheel cutout and feels like it has a slightly longer wheelbase which I quite like. It is also a whole lot stiffer than I expected especially considering that you can get the frame by itself from Dolan for £99 and that it misses some of the shaped tubing of the higher end Dolans. You get frame, forks (road or undrillable track), seatpost, seatpost clamp and headset for £199 and all of those components are great quality.
I have always like the VISP and Nelson frames for being solid to ride and very cheap but the Precursa seems to be the best quality and value of the lot in my opinion. Next day delivery also becomes appealing when compared to the two week wait for frames to arrive from china.
