Dolan Pre Cursa question
 
I've been looking for a fixie for a long time now, but good ones are hard to come by here in Norway.. I recently found a nice, used Dolan Pre Cursa complete with brakes (thought that would be nice while learning) close to me that wasn't too expensive.

It's a 55cm, and I'm wondering if it will fit me? I like the look of a high sp, so I thought I'd try to get a 54, until this one showed up. Any thoughts? I'm 5'10/178cm btw.

Any tips greatly appreciated :)

I was just wondering if anyone maybe had some experience with Dolans in particular.

Use the damn calculator, then look at the bike's geometry. Regardless if anyone on here has experience with Dolans, they are not YOU. Bodies are not built the same.

Right. I'll do that then. Sorry to have ruined your day, Sir.

Not ruined. :)

Jussayin, the "correct" answer was provided, no need to ignore it the first time. Best of luck to you.

Yeah, I guess. I just read somewhere that the sizing of Dolans was a bit weird? Kind of worried, since I most likely won't be able to try before i buy. I'd rather have a frame on the small side, than a bit too big. But I'll try the calculator once I get home and have access to level/measuring tape. Thanks:)

Here's the geo info for the bike that I found so you can reference your size when you're done using the calculator.
