The Best First Aluminum Fixed Gear Bike. Period.

So you like aluminum fixed gears. Maybe you like the look with their modern, thick, aerodynamic tubing, maybe you like the boosted stiffness to weight ratio over steel bikes because it supposedly makes you go faster, or maybe you just have something against riding a bike that has the same properties as a refrigerator. So should you get the Aventon, the Tsunami from Aliexpress, the Leader, the State Black Label, or maybe you're a baller and go for the 100% Italian, Chinese-made Cinelli? Well, the title for "The Best First Aluminum Track Bike" goes squarely to the Dolan Pre Cura. Thanks to Matt L. for letting me do a bike check of his Dolan after our weekly 5AM group ride!

Email me your extensive parts list: [email protected] with BIKE CHECK in subject line. Include your Instagram handle if you want to be tagged. 2. Tell me your bike's story. Bikes with cool stories are more likely to have bike checks made than bling but boring bikes without a story. 3. Send me your 1080p or 4k video files via Google Drive or Dropbox. Video files must be: 1) 10-15 seconds long each 2) have as little camera movement as possible (little camera shake, no pans/zooms, be horizontal DUH!) 3) 20-25 different shots with 3 shots of your complete bike is a good amount. 4. Keep in mind I'll run ads on the video to help cover the cost of producing the bike checks. Gotta stay fed. 5. Follow this carefully. Bike checks either get made the right way or not at all.
