For Sale: Full build Dolan frame 58

what gave you the audacity to build something reckless like that?

You've defininitely created something different there...

I can see the remains of an Edwardes logo under your stickers and it seems to have rear brake cable guides. Doesn't look like a Dolan to me.

Glory glory Uncle Rory...

That's a shocker. £300? I think perhaps not.
That bar tape looks like the wrappings of a gay mummy, the electrical tape seems to have been applied by several cats working together for the first time, the seatpost looks to be worth about seven quid brand new, and you say the frame is a year old but it looks as though it's been sleeping rough for most of that year and developed a rather nasty Meth habit.

Why oh why don't people make a bit of effort when trying to flog a bike??

BBQ + Mop + Soil pipe + none drive side photo + fucked bar tape + taped up frame = no sale.

BBQ + Mop + Soil pipe + none drive side photo + fucked bar tape + taped up frame +** inaccurate description + high asking price** = no sale.

ftfy

It looks more like pearson touche(?)

OP

It looks more like pearson touche(?)

well...

You've defininitely *create*d something different there...

was I too subtle?

Eat some dicks miro. Knocking around on this website all of the day must be sapping. Meanwhile in actual land..

Charmed.

Sigh. I remember now. Alot of what's wrong with the human condition is really well illustrated here. I can't recall a case that a simple exchange of amicable sentences hasn't descended into petulant digs and very British passive agression (the sort which only when protected by a computer screen do you see very often) and it so sad. Internet is a powerful tool but here its just utilized in the most tragic ways. Craic on boys.

SO is it a Dolan or not, I don't think it is...

No, you are just trying to sell a shit bike above a reasonable price.

For the record I'm fairly certain that Dolan didn't make the Edwardes frames although they are very similar and quite comparable in quality.

I base this purely on person experience of owning both and hearsay though so I could easily be wrong.

Be fair, the frame isn't actually that bad but hes saying it is something that it isnt.

Its a Dolan. Edwardes frames are resprayed dolans. This is clear and I thought to be common knowledge among people from London, into track bikes. Though yes there is brake guides for some reason. Shoot me. And about price a year old Dolan frame will go for 170 and that's a steal. The wheels bring this up to thw grand sum of three hundred pounds. This is a deal, if not for you fair enough but why the need for detailed descriptions of personal tastes and what you'd(anybody) would do different. As if I'm to gives a shit about your opinions. Sales thread, not style advice. I've met a few of you fuckers and believe me this is the last place anybody would come for tips.

Cheers

Oh and the pink ergo which is a rarity also.

Are you saying that this is a year old Dolan?

Yes.

sorry to butt in, but that photo will not sell that bike.

if you want 300, you could always sell for 100 and go and rob an off license.

Happy reiteration day y'all! I have on several occasions in a relatively small time frame nodded towards the fact the picture isn't the greatest of qualitly and for anyone remotely interested that I will ride to them so that they can get a better look. This is boring now. Again.

Utter bollocks.

It has Edwardes written on it.

6pt's Edwardes looks a lot like a Dolan Track Champion but it is not a Dolan. My V-Sprint (same frame as the Edwardes) looked a lot like a Track Champion but it is not a Dolan.

At best, at a stretch, Edwardes buy their frames from the same factory that Dolan uses. They do not use the same design. Hold them side by side and you will see differences.

Unless somebody with more experience/knowledge can prove me wrong or point me somewhere (other than one thread on this forum) that says that Edwardes buys frames from Dolan?

For example, this is not a Dolan...its a V-Sprint. The give aways are the subtle frame design differences and the fact that it has V-Sprint on the side.

This is what I was told at edwardes. And was never given any reason not to believe the bloke as I have been going since I wqw in small trousers and always had great treatment there. Why the agressiveness. I'm just relaying what information i have.

I like Edwardes a lot and I think their word stands for a lot.

However, I think he probably meant that the frame is made in the same factory as the Dolans. It is possible that some time in the past that Dolan allowed their designs to be used by other companies but so far i have only seen similar copies coming from the factory that they subcontract to.

I do not intend to sound aggressive and maybe I'm being pretty pedantic but your frame has Edwardes embedded in the paint job and does not match any Dolan frame I have seen (not that that says much).

it's not a Dolan. The Pre Cursa has a noticable curve at the bottom of the down tube, and the Track Champion has different shaped seat and chain stays, not to mention the cut out behind the bottom bracket.
