Terry Dolan Classic Fixed Gear


I just love the simplicity of this retro Terry Dolan classic fixed gear steel frame. This one was a refurb for Tokyo Fixed Gear by Dolan Bikes (spot all the frames in the background).

If you're ever in London, make sure you stop by Tokyo Fixed Gear in Peter Street, Soho. Great place, knowledgeable staff and some to die for frames and components.

I'm going to use this for inspiration when I get round to re-furbing my vintage Raleigh Record Sprint which I've got in the garage. Had it since 1984 and plan to do a job on it, not to re-furb back to original but to do something with it to make it a new bike again. Will keep you posted.

  2. Hello Phil
    It would be nice to have a picture of the bike when its finished.
    I worked at Raleigh in the framebuilding department. Sadly all gone now but what an experience. A far cry from your Dolan frame eh but still a nice ride. Steel will make a big comeback over the next few years.
