Hi all, I've been on here for sometime now, and just wanted to start up a build thread to share and maybe get recognized around london haha.
So I picked up my Dolan Pre Cursa frame from BCarley off here, top quality lad who had to wait around in Euston for an extra half an hour ish because I was late haha. Cheers!
Heres the picture he provided in his thread and pretty much how it looked like when i picked it up.
I already had a BLB fly saddle, Cinelli drops, some any stem, no logo crankset, and a set of flip flop wheels I got off here from 1000Archangels, thanks martin!
All this was ready to go on to get me moving asap.
looked like this that following night.
then later took a black no logo wheelset off my mate, pretty bomb proof, nothing special but looks better and still gets me from A to B
Shitty cranks was giving in, and luckily enough a miche primato advanced crankset popped up on here so bagged them quick, Cheers Pearl848!
Picked up some deda pistas for a better look and a black stem as the silver one looked quite out of place, Thanks to Yobaby
then it stood like this for a good while
A few meetups with other fixed gear riders.
Currently in the proccess of refurbishing an Aerospoke for a friend, looked like this when i picked it up.
After a good couple of sessions, paint stripped and rim nearly fully sanded down
Still ran the spoke even when I was stripping it as its my commuter and it looked like this
Then picked up a stem that I've been longing to get hold of a couple days ago and had it fitted on straight away, and this is how it looks like right now. Looking to pick up a better wheelset in the near future, anything deep rim B43/H+/Dodici etc let me know if you have anything laying around, then it will be complete

About the frame, Ive noticed that no other dolan pre cursa's that I have seen had the same geometry as mine, the top tube dips a bit, like a lo pro, other ones ive seen have got either a slant or just a straight, anyone else have a pre cursa with the same geometry as mine? would really like to know wassup with it haha
Hope you've enjoyed the read,Any comments or pointers welcome and give me a shout if you see me around london or track standing in the middle of oxford circus haha
