Finished at last, Dolan CX

[itboffin]

Slow progress but at long last my Dolan CX project is finished and it's a dream to ride.

That's a very nice looking bike!

Nice ride - where did you get the Visia Cross forks from? I can't seem to find them anywhere apart from ones charging £100+ which is too much.

looks nice. It took me a year to get the parts to build my bike (and that was only changing flat bar to drops) I ended up doing the conversion over night.

Very nice itb- now I've seen your garage on another thread so does this one go in the front room or will will you have to get rid of the kids or the wife's bikes to fit this in?

An excellent choice of frame if I may say so!!

Nice and stealthy itboffin, you're not a million miles from me, so could see you out and about. lots of spacers on the steerer though?

I have a couple of spaces left, I'm very tempted to get a TT bike as well

Just checked and ribble have a Dolan track frame which would be a nice replacement for my current steel single speed bike.

Yep playing it safe for now until I get used to the handling which I might add is very sharp

The stem is flipped & longer than i'd normally go for as well, just testing the water before I dabble in a little off roading

I'm out and about in Wilts, Bucks & Hants pretty much everyday at the moment.

Thanks all i'm very pleased with it, the best thing of all is how quiet and smooth it is, I have 7 bikes this is by far the nicest to ride, even though the frame is Aluminium it glides over potholes. I'm seriously considering replacing my single speed and maybe even build a carbon road bike, I could become a Dolan addict
