I've only seen the look built up to a pursuit setup. The Dolan has the better fit but all the "forums experts" say that the df3 is a sprinters frame...
If it fits, does it matter that's the Dolan is a sprinters frame? Sorry I don't know much about the track specific geometries.
Cheers

What do they mean by a sprinters frame? Is it referring to the strength of the frame? If its simply a weight issue then it shouldn't matter as you still need to do 6.8kg despite not having a group set and brakes

Sprinters frame is referring to the strength of the frame, the Dolan is quite a lot heavier too. This is good and bad, you need to get up to speed fast, but for pursuit the heavy bike has more inertia.

I would rather not reveal my budget, but let's say a keen budget conscious Internet buyer would find these new frames at a heavily reduced price sitting at around $1k.

Absolutely photos!
By the way, whilst researching, I found quite a few posts by you on other forums when you were building up your planetx pursuit rig. Still got it?

Plan was to keep the Planet X for club racing / training and the BT for bigger events. But I kept grabbing the BT off the rack!
Still need to renew my licence and get back racing. Was off the bikes the last 1 1/2 years to care for my wife as she underwent her cancer treatments. I'm now back commuting but not really motivated for anything.

My appologies, must of forgotten while I was looking for my walking stickdalai47 wrote:No Melbourne. I did introduce myself when you came down to Melbourne a while back - Masters Nationals I think it was.
I'll be driving near Strawburgers place about 11.30 on Saturday, hopefully he as the frame by then
Since Strawburger has finished with this thread I might as well hijack it.
There's being some rule changes related to the position of the handlebars, does anyone know what they are? Might be to do with the handlebar relationship to the front axle, but I could be wrong.
I'm wondering if I need to consider top tube length from a rule viewpoint

Mike, change of plans, pick up is late afternoon now. So you may not get to see it tomorrow...
As for rule changes, are they the same rule changes at the road TT bar positions?
