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

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.

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.
Code:
Sizing information Geometry Pre-Cursa Size 45 50 52 54 56 58 60 Seat tube c-t 450 500 520 540 560 580 600 Top tube c-c 511 530 535 540 550 565 590 Seat angle 76 75 75 75 75 75 74 Head angle 71 72 73 73 73 73 74 Head tube 95 105 120 130 140 160 200
