Dolan Pre Cursa / PreCursa / Track Champion

^ I love that touring bike, now I need to build one for the summer...

Buys touring fixed frame with rack mounts. Doesn't fit a rack. :|

Retrogrouch.

Some messenger pics from Copenhagen today - on the Seta

Nice, I was out on mine today. What tyres you squeezing in there?

It's my buddy Whatever's Seta - he is squeezing 25 on front and possibly 28c rear I'm quite sure.

Track alpinas? Can get 28 in them easily

Ah, I'm thinking 25 rear 23 front ultremos eventually.

Not sure if they're alpinas because I know he runs a brake.

Drilled Alpina Track :]

Ah nice, I'm thinking about an alpina on mine but it's just more money to spend.
Unless someone fancied a swap.

There could be some sense in a LARGER frame asks for LARGER rake (trail) - but i don't know shit. Road fork on my Pre-Cursa and doesn't feel much different than my DF3 with Alpina Wing fork fwiw.

I don't particularly see why, I think it's compensated for in the HT angle of larger frames, I really want to tighten it up though because as is it feel like really relaxed almost road geo.

could barely get a 25c in mine, like 1mm clearance with a worn 25c

here's mine with a 28

Manufacturing variations?
Could be a matter of axel diameter too, if one is skinnier it will sit higher up in the fork.

More down to the tyres itself, they occasionally have different profile/size than manufacturer's own claim.

some 23s dont fit on my romet, whereas other do

I purchased a Zoncolan for my Pre Cursa today because I've always thought they look fun... There is a version called a 'Zoncolan Triathgel' that I can't find any information about, but they're half price at £25 on CRC at the moment. Thought it was worth a go at that price :-)
