Dolan Track Champion

After having finally finished my first ever fixed project, I'm turning my attention to my maligned Dolan that I bought from Big Daddy Wayne nearly a year ago...

I had it powdercoated at Armourtex and got most of the stuff for it today, nearly all new as my parts bin is piecemeal to say the least. Also sadly on a budget, couldn't afford the SG75s that I was trying to find earlier this week.

Sugino RD2 Messenger 48T
Dura Ace 16T Cog (parts bin)
Dura Ace Lockring (parts bin)
Planet X Superlight Seatpost
Planet X Superlight Saddle

Waiting on Ambrosio hubs and front brake.

Anyone know where to find a 30mm recessed brake nut that doesn't cost £7.99?

in my parts bin.

Can't do today, sorry! Any night apart from Fri really, PM me if you want to meet anywhere central.

A big thank you to Apollo for the bolt.

Bottom bracket, headset and crankset are on, just waiting on the hubs to arrive before rims and the hubs go off to Look Mum for a build.

Pic soon.

Lovely.

Hubs and stem have arrived, wheels are off to LMNH to be built tomorrow.

Looks nice so far.

reeaally nice :) i'm planning on quite a similar (track champ) project to enjoy for several years..so saving up big stacks of cash (and finding a batman cape hehe) good luck!

Wheels arrived!

Excellent job by LMNH. Very happy.

Sadly project is on hold for two weeks as I'm off to Australia. Silver linings etc.

That bar angle :-O

Not final at all, only like that so it balanced well upside down. Think the seatpost is staying that high with my miniature pins?!

Finished for the HHSB to Brighton. Minor adjustments, lovely to ride. Very happy how it turned out considering the budget...

And a little addition y'day courtesy of TP88 (thanks again!)

:O rad!!!

Tell me about it... Also tell me about how I didn't have a pump head that fits into the cutout... FML!

Cheers! I know exactly what I needed, only got this...

Did you get the forks drilled yourself?

Did you get the forks drilled yourself?

No, they came predrilled and I think that's how they all come:
