Considering a new bike and am liking the look and price of the Dolan Track Champion.
I'm highly unlikely to ever use it on the track. It will probably be mostly city commutes of 10 miles a day and the odd 20 mile weekend ride about town.
Just looking for some advice on whether it is a suitable and practical enough bike for this or whether I should look elsewhere. ie are the clearences too tight? Will the supplied rims (Navigator) and forks take dropping off curbs. Is it comfortable enough riding around for longer distances?
Other than that, are the decals removable and what's the paint job like, resiliant to locking up?
Also, any advice on sizing would be appreciated. I'm 5'9-5'10 and inside leg is 30".
Cheers.
