I didn't get on with mine. It was exclusively for track use, I used it weekly for a couple of months and knew it wasn't for me. It was a 54 FWIW
The wheelbase is very short and the angles seemed steep even for a dedicated track bike. I found the toe overlap extreme too. Im not sure that going a size up would have made any difference to these issues.
The wheelset was heavy and supplied with utilitarian tyres given its intended for track use. The bb was a fairly rudimentary affair, square taper cranks, and a rather ugly rear dropout assembly left me feeling rather short-changed, its not exactly cheap and cheery. Unbranded finishing kit too.
Dolan Pre Cursa or Genesis Madison.
No contest.
