Dolan Pre Cursa / PreCursa / Track Champion

That was five years old and hearsay.

If they were that bad, would they still be the standard hire bikes at most indoor velodromes in the country?

I've heard of TCs being 'cracky'* but the Dolans we have at Glasgow 'drome seem to be taking a pretty good pounding with little trouble.

*Mostly around the seatclamp.

Definitely getting a torque wrench for my seatpost clamp.

Avoid the Pre-Cursa's

Are you kidding?

nope. Wish I was cause I wanted one next month.

Isn't that photo is old? and you realised that's not a Precursa?

Any really good experiences out there that overwhelmingly overshadow experienced mechanics I am open.

Cause I literally was a few days away from ordering mine. Recently another Dolan buyer had a six month old frame go belly up. Saw pics the mechanic had.

Any long term Dolan riders put their frame through hell and back?

Yeah its from this forum. So just reposted.

But still want other users input/experience vs the feedback I heard. Spoke to 3 mechanics who really took it to the cleaners and back. Plus pics of damage.

I was all for it though cause the price is great and lighter than steel to smack around a bit in the streets.

I know @M4rkybear just got one and @Indraripper rides a Dolan.

my pre cursa has made it through two years of pretty heavy abuse without fault...

Yeah lots of skidding and London street riding stuff as well? Please say yess cause I want one bro.

yep, fixed road bike / commuter / beater duties, paint is pretty ratty now, but other than that fine.

Dolans are tough, don't worry about it.

the bike hurt me more than i hurt it.

^^ its reinforced by a red sticker mind

Huh?

I am 5' 11" what size frame do you recommend I usually ride a 56 but was told also that the measurements are wrong on the Pre Cursa's. Same mechanics. All different locations same opinion and laughable response.

Also found an article online. Similar user experience.

Are you new to the internet or something?

A lot of happy customers who own Pre-cursa's.

Are you new to the internet or something?

Didn't realise the title says new to the internet?
Answer No bro

Just want Existing Dolan riders experience which is worth loads.

Positive and negative
makes sense no?
Not really interested in the additional banter.

Think B0N0R was getting at just because it's happened to one person who photographed it doesn't mean it means all of them crack. Mine gets heavily abused and it's fine.
