FWIW, I do own a 2013 Dolan Pre Cursa, and it looks like you could install a 28mm wide tire in the rear, but you could not fully insert the rear wheel in the dropout without the tire hitting the seatstay brace. As to the front, I have a Dolan road fork that has enough crown clearance for a 28mm tire, but I don’t know if the Alpina track fork that is currently supplied in the frameset has enough clearance.

I have the alpina track fork, no way to run anything above 25mm. I have 25mm on archetypes and it's pretty tight. When I bought mine a year ago they were offering to substitute the track fork for what they called a winter fork. It was a carbon aluminum fork with extra clearance for tires and fenders. On the back you can run 28mm or probably even more.
