Dolan Pre Cursa 52cm Track Fixie Fixed Gear Bike Sugino Alpina Carbon Fork
A really clean example of the hugely popular Dolan Pre Cursa, finished in striking bright red with black components.
The Pre Cursa has earned a great reputation as a stiff, responsive and durable aluminium track bike. Simple, lightweight and direct, it's equally at home on the track or as the basis of a fast fixed-gear road build.
This one has a quality build including Sugino drivetrain, Alpina carbon-bladed fork, Deda finishing kit and Aero Slick track wheels.
The bike has been thoroughly checked over and is mechanically ready for its next rider.
A new KMC chain and fresh handlebar tape have been fitted.
The frame and components present very nicely, with normal cosmetic signs of previous use. Please study the photographs carefully as these form part of the description.

There is something beautifully uncomplicated about a proper fixed-gear bike.
One gear. No derailleurs. No unnecessary clutter. Just your legs, the drivetrain and the road or track beneath you.
The Pre Cursa gets that formula right. The aluminium frame is stiff and responsive, while the carbon-bladed Alpina fork and Sugino drivetrain make for a wonderfully direct connection between rider and bike.
The 46 × 21 gearing also makes this a more usable setup than some heavily geared track builds.
Some bikes that pass through Souls Cycles arrive needing years of neglect coaxed out of them.
This one didn't need quite so much spiritual intervention.
A fixed-gear bike is already about as close to bicycle meditation as machinery gets: remove the gears, remove the distractions and keep turning the pedals.
Just 46 teeth up front, 21 at the back and nowhere for your legs to hide.
It's been checked over, given the Souls Cycles treatment and is ready for its next chapter.
This is a 52cm frame.
Please check Dolan's geometry against your measurements where possible. If you're unsure whether it will suit you, send me your height and measurements and I'll happily help with sizing.
This bike is currently configured as a brakeless fixed-gear/track bike, with no brakes fitted.
The Alpina fork is drilled to accept a front brake if required for road use.
The buyer is responsible for ensuring the bike is appropriately and legally configured for their intended use.
Collection and viewing are welcome from Coverack, Cornwall.
I'm also happy to carefully box the bike for UK delivery.
Sensible offers welcome.
Carefully selected, mechanically checked and prepared for its next chapter.
Rescued. Restored. Released.
