Phil Dolan bikecheck


Who's older Whitey or Phil? One thing is for sure James is more computer savvy than Phil, good times putting this together! We managed one photo of Phil's bike, good ol Sharlene (Phils wife) saved the day! And its taken me a few hours to re-align Phil's text, what a mission! The banter will live on forever, one of the masters of rolling style im sure you will agree, Phil Dolan! Heres his ride...in epic detail...

Anything specific to you that you must have on your own ride:

er whats that.

Advice to beginners on bike set ups?
For beginners dont do a james white and tighten your pegs with your hands, hes the only one who gets away with it,don't grind and chop your bike so light that like james white if the wind is blowing at one mile an hour or someone breathes you get stopped dead a little weight can keep you moving....ask sam fox!
