  • So I have been searching for a frame or frameset for a while since selling my Track Champion.
    Recently a close friend built Dos Tokyo, so I wanted to see they pricing, and is geo on all of them that slack. And yesterday I found this bike in Dosnoventa online shop and grabbed it.
    I'm plannin on keeping only frameset and seatpost, all other parts I already have, except stem with right angle and lenght. As soon as I get it I will update this thread.
    LOOK AT THAT GEOMETRY.

  • how much have you paid? is it a second hand frame? and do you know the exact measurements? are they differ?

  • price was euros, it's second hand. It's 56 square with 175mm headtube, i think. When I will get it I will measure it exactly and I will try to find more info on frame because I don't think it's tapered from pictures.

  • quite pricey for a second hand alu frame.

  • Well he can probably shift the rest of the parts for around 300 euro's, and although 400 euro's still is a lot of money, Dosnoventa is quite exclusive here and especially a model that doesn't look slack (you could be the only one!)

  • i thought 700 for frame+fork, sorry, my fault

  • Yes I'm parting it out.
    there isn't anything as good or light for that price(columubs airplane) I'm interested why something this good looking is made only one model. In a week or a little more I will get and I will post everything in this threa because it's something new to everyone - Dos that ain't SLACK.

  • The Detroit has a 76 st and a 74 ht no? Where as mine has a 75 degree st and a 73.5 ht. Your Detroit doesn't look tapered though (1 1/8 - 1 1/2)

  • well if you search Detroit on pedalroom for example, they appear super slack. But this looks tighter then most of new standart track/tarck frame. And it isn' tapered, I'm 100% sure:

  • Forks. It's hard to find 1 1/2 track specific forks. The usual forks look like 45mm rake?

  • Only good lookin Dos frame ever

  • ^ +1

  • This is a Detroit 1 prototype, unique frame with Keirin inspiee geometry.
    Looks like I'm keeping it for a long tome, beause it's Dos with a real nice geometry.
    Really happy and excited about this.

  • Does beg the question though, how could they have mad that as a proto and though 'naaah that looks wank, lets make it super slack'

  • you can always order custom geo from dosno (for extra money), so probably that's a custom order from a client

  • Haven't heard anything about custom Dos, but according to Dani it's a Detroit 1 prototype and I haven't seen another Dos with 1 1/8 headtube.

  • This looks quite a lot like a Ridley Oval but nicer.

  • Ok, so today I got it.

    I didn't yet install Omnium's because square
    taper BB needs smaller diameter tool.

  • .

  • The clearances are so much better on this model!

  • Oooooh that is very very nice.

  • really nice frame mate, i think the frame will actually turn out to be a bit of a bargain when you take out all the other costs, are the forks full carbon?

    also, that bb looks to be needing one of these http://www.wiggle.co.uk/cyclus-cassette-tool-campagnolo/ a campagnolo/miche bottom bracket tool, lbs should have one, if not someone on the forum in london will probably have one too

  • love it.

  • BB is actually not tightened so Omnium's will be on soon, wait for pics



  • Now need to sell the parts it came with and then this will get some updates,
    carbon seatpost, new stem, spok.
