Dolan Pre Cursa / PreCursa / Track Champion

Who even sells them anymore in the UK? Neither dropouts nor 8ball listed them on their webshop last time I checked. Which leaves Standert in Berlin...

If you're looking for a budget track bike, Fuji Track Comp tick all the box, especially at £280.

Epic fail. I hope they are able to change it soon

Still some of the old pre cursa for sale http://www.dolan-bikes.com/deals/frames-framesets.html

That looks lovely!

Anyone had problems with the Rotor on the new Pre Cursa?

Got mine yesterday

needs omniums

oh wait

;)

Yea what's that about? Any idea why they'd design a frame that isn't compatible with arguably the most popular fixed gear crankset on the market?

That looks fucking excellent though

Because they don't know what they're doing?

More like a design flaw not caught before they ordered the frames built. You can of course ask why a track crankset has such a fat spider.

Oh yeah

So, to follow up on the chainstay issue. I finally got around to try a Sugino 75. Seems to be 1.5-2mm clearance.

I am disappoint.

Try with Campagnolo Centaur 111mm BB... What's the chainline of your Hed disc?
My Dolans run smoother/straighter with the Campag BB than SG75 (with DA HB-7600 or Novatec hubs...).

After that BB shell is faced, it'll be even tighter. Look at the gaps between the BB cups and BB shell...

Never mind the disc, I will need to build/get a rear wheel for normal use. But that BB would only push the crank 1 mm out compared to the 109 on there now. Would still be tight, and I would need to buy it to see if it would work.

It really sucks. I want it to work, and sending it back would mean even more work for me to ship it and to get Norwegian VAT back. Dolan say they'll only cover £30 of the shipping, and I'm looking at £40-50 to get it out of the country. What a f*cking mess.

@Pifko Yep, I know, I didn't have to tool to tighten it properly.

So chances are a new pre cursa won't work well with whatever crankset you have?

Yeah only 130bcd pseudo track cranks :(

Sad about @larsenroad

Got a 54cm pre cursa with drilled alpina's for sells if anyone's looking...https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/292214/#comment13191464

This guy seems to have managed to fit omniums on his new pre cursa.
