My Dolan build

[kgt]

Scuse the crappy 7am iPhone picture, but thought I'd record its first ride this morning. Going to be my regular commuter and trainer over the winter while the carbon thing hangs on the wall.

First time Ive put a bike together from scratch and happy to say Ive done every single bit myself. I know its nowt to experienced builders, but I'm a bit chuffed with myself as I'd usually just buy stuff and palm it off to someone else.

Its humble but it works and with the bits I saved from my wrecked Scott donored across onto the new framset and bits borrowed from other bikes, the whole thing owes me £245. Happy days.

Looks good mate....

That looks great.
As someone who has just built up a bike from parts I wholeheartedly agree, it's a great feeling.

Seriously nice looking bike, love it

pictures should always be of the driveside side of the bike - looks good though

Looking good - If my single speed experiment doesn't work out (ouch my knee!) this is a possible solution for a winter build for myself. Although still debating if SS will work for me and if not do I want discs?

Dolan tell me a preffisio frame with clearance for 28cc and full mudguards is a month away!

Brilliant.
