Hi everybody

I have a Dolan for sale. 1 major issue is I overtightened the seatclamp resulting in a spilt in the frame. I have spoken to Dolan they tell me this is a fairly common occurance (50 of 2000 track champs sold have failed in this way) they also advised me to chop the top of the seattube off completely and to use 1 31.6mm seatclamp which should solve the problem. Aside from the seatclamp the frame is in good condition a few small paint chips nothing worse. Only selling as I have more than 1 track bike so dont need the hassle of this one.

Frame, Forks and Headset £175 and i will throw in the original Alpina seatpost too.

Cheers Jim, I think it might be just a bit too big for me then.

Got any pictures of how far the crack goes down the seat tube?

no picture as it is akward to photo but there is a piece of aluminium about 8mm*8mm missing which when the seatclamp area is chopped will be removed.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
