Dolan Pre Cursa / PreCursa / Track Champion

Inexpensive but not cheap!
Probably imported from eastern but where do you think Dosnoventa and Cinelli come from?? :)
Stop saying it's a cheap track frameset because it not cost 500£+...

£199 for a frame, carbon bladed fork, headset, seat clamp and seat post is cheap whatever way you look at it.
How much would that lot need to be to be considered cheap?

99 cents!

It's cheap.

So much so I use it as my polo bike. Crashed 2 into the fence/wall and cracked the frame and just bought my third cos they're cheap and easily replaced. #csb #nocycletraining #i<3walls

See, this guy gets it!

This thread has been brought to my attencion and i would like to assure everyone that we have rectified this issue re truative/ sram omnium crankset , it was caused by the chainstay being cut to close to the bb shell which meant were the bend moves out to allow tyre clearance the outside is closer to the crankset which causes problems for some chainsets ,we have now rectified this and hopefully our 2017 batches will be universally compatable , for the customers that have had this issue we have either offerd a refund or free upgrade to the TC1 , I hope this goes some way to explaining this issue and thank everyone for their input .

Damn, roll up for crack champs guys

Excellent news, and kudos for coming on here with that clarification (and for offering the latter resolution, for those affected). Many thanks.

great to hear. well done :~)

Cool beans? Are these new frames straight?

Excellent customer service and nice upgrade for still unsatisfied customers. Nice work Dolan. (Ps Less decals)

:D They're only off by +7mm which is within manufacturing tolerances

How much faster can you go with a rack on Ned?

it was caused by the chainstay being cut to close to the bb shell

Wut? This doesn't make sense.

Are you saying the chain stays on the new pre-cursa's were all cut too short? an error when being built at the factory?

The bend that creates tyre clearance ended up being too close to the BB, but additional length at the other end of the tube will mean the finished frame's 'chainstay length' is the same.
So yes, an error at the factory.
The same tube will be used on various frames for Dolan, and for other brands who use the same factory. Once formed, they'll be trimmed and shaped at each end to suit each model of frame..

:D They're only off by +7mm which is within manufacturing tolerances

I hate to tell you but that's way off.

European Standard is 3mm maximum.

Saw this awesome pic on facebook

You must be the only one! I'm a big fan. It's nice not to have to cart stuff around on my back and my bread no longer has bottle shapes stamped into it. Oh and I'm still faster than @Daniel_T

sorry that was in reply to an ancient comment on page 131 @Lukas

Haha, I heard @Daniel_T was no slouch!
I too have joined the nod-side, but on my Pomp (...wrong thread).

Anyone using a tc1 on the street? Any evidence of cracking like the old track champs? Need a new frame set... Had a 60cm pre C for ages and think the tc1 geo will suit me better because stupid long tt on the PC

Is anyone with a 52cm Pre Cursa able to do me some as accurate as possible reach / stack measurements? Mostly bothered about the reach.

Easiest way to do it is back wheel against the wall, measure wall > centre of BB, measure wall > centre of head tube, subtract one from the other. Same for stack but vertically using the floor as zero point.

reach 398
stack 512

What are you inputting to get that?
