Dolan Pre Cursa / PreCursa / Track Champion

I have ridden my Dolan Track Champ for a full year now. All seasons, streets are worse then in London. No problems with the frame at all. Love it.

I feel guilty for reposting the crashed frame pic now.

Just want Existing Dolan riders experience which is worth loads.

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

You seem to have already posted your badly-written blog post slating the bikes (illustrated by a picture of a Track Champion NOT a Pre Cursa) before actually listening to existing riders' experiences. And then you cite this forum as a source. You're a fucking whopper.

Seriously I appreciate your experiences all. Thanks. I think I will give it a go as a secondary bike rather than my primary and see how I get on.

Should I go for the 54 or 56 size?

5ft 11" I usually roll a 56

So you wrote a blog telling everyone to avoid them based on what you've read on the forum, now you're asking the same forum what size you should buy?

I'm 5ft 11 and I ride a 52cm, it should be fine for you.

Don't believe everything you read.

I have a 37" inseam and find a 48cm to be more than appropriate for track.

Must spread reps for Tom gad damn it.

this, I am 5'11-6'0 and 52 fits bang on.
the measurements are incorrect on the website and size chart, I normally was riding 56 but dolans come couple of sizes bigger than advertised.

Are all integrated headsets equal? The thread-recommended headset is unavailable on CRC right now, so would this one work?

Pre cursas are 36 / 45 that odyssey is 45 / 45 so wont work. Dolan sell the alpina ones that work

I'm 5ft 9inches and I ride 58cm Track champ. Long legs.

Thanks

I'm bang on 6' and ride a 58cm Precursa. it measures as 58st 57tt. I cant even imagine squeezing onto a 52.

I have been riding it every day for over a year, and more recently doing consistently over 150 miles a week on it. its probably the best £200 i have ever spent.

Nope.
researched online
I spoke to mechanics - received unexpected negative feedback
posted a blog based on their feedback and reactions
then asked the forum in hopes I should still try it out.

Yeah I was told this rudely by one of the mechanics as well. But still what size might be in the right ballpark size for me.

well tomm and I are the same height as you, and I would also ride a 52.

WHo are these mechanics

I don't really ride a 52. I just wrote a blog telling everyone that was definitely the size I needed, and then bought a different one.

fuck you tommm:(

i'm 5'10" and ride a 60cm, ignore all these guys trying to troll you

I know they use the forum as well so before I call them out. I am going to test it myself. Cause it wouldn't be fair that I knock their experiences either.

Will take the plunge that I was planning to anyway test out and get back to you. Update posted. Also thank you for your prompt feedback to all.

Don't buy a Dolan Precursa, I read that it have a habit of cracking on some blog somewhere.
