just changed the seat to a regal and put a sugino 75 chainring on, not sure on the chainring though but it may grow on me....

euan · 28th May 2009

All these Bobs and I've still not got mine. Been waiting more than seven weeks now.

dayno · 28th May 2009

fuck dude, i remember when u furst started talking about it, think it has been 7 since i got mine and built it up - dude, it's gonna be treats when u get it though.....

euan · 29th May 2009

Aye for sure. Tearing my hair out a wee bit in anticipation. Keep wondering if they took my number down wrong or whatever. I should give them a call or something.

edscoble · 29th May 2009

Don't worry mate, it'll come, after all they're British, they'll give it to you when they're ready! ;)

Fixed.

CrazyJames · 29th May 2009

So many foreign people i've met find it so amusing when they come over here that we line up and wait our turn for things, I find it really amusing that queuing just doesn't exist in so many countries!

edscoble · 29th May 2009

they have different word for queuing, which is 'waiting' and 'waiting' usually mean that they have trouble meeting demand!

"queuing" sound pretty much like an everyday situation that usually happen, but not necessary a bad thing, like weather, there's no such thing as bad weather, unless it's really bad as in flood, thunderstorm, etc.

dayno · 29th May 2009

this ability obviously deteriorates when seated in easy jet and ryan air boarding areas and the call comes for "would those customers with an A on their boarding cards please like to commence boarding"!!!

dayno · 29th May 2009

probably waiting for some aussies to come over and find the keys to open up shop..... fuck i'm funny

what tyres are those?

dayno · 29th May 2009

vittoria rally tubs - 14 quid each - run nice and smooth, no issues even though they have no puncture protection and i weigh in at 16 stone...

miro_o · 1st June 2009

& they squeeeeel like a pig if you backpedal skid on them. Which is handy if your bored.

Alexander · 3rd June 2009

What colour would you say this is? my guess is Flamboyant Royal Blue

Link to Flickr for a closer look

propeller · 3rd June 2009

some nice components on that

adoubletap · 3rd June 2009

Rim fail. Fuck me what a crime. £100+ on those when NOS Campag go for £65 a pair

euan · 3rd June 2009

True that. I always feel deep rims over power a trad steel frame. The bike is meant to look light and agile, not bottom heavy.

Anyway, Wednesdays are always a relief when you are waiting for a call from Bob Jackson, you know they ain't going to then :)

tcman · 3rd June 2009

Does anyone know what size of the Vigorelli has a 21" top tube length?

marcola · 3rd June 2009

you just got the new charge plug,
you wanna get the new frame?

just wondering, you know.. :P
a friend of mine is lusting after one though - and the bad news is it seems like he's got enough dough for it

marcola · 4th June 2009

maybe I'll sell my bob jackson,
condition is near new, seatube size is 50cm,
if you're interested, just let me know.
the picture is on my flickr.

21"

Alexander · 4th June 2009

lol ^

But yeah, any guesses to what colour that might be? I'm thinking either that blue/silver colour scheme, or Ivory with red decals and lug lining, what do you think?

looks metallic to me. I'd say "blue odd 3" or "blue s" or "cobalt"

just comment on flickr and ask the owner...

+1

Still a very posh bike... but I'd have saved the Sugino's for a modern build too.

Mathiasss · 7th June 2009

What seatpost size does bj use? (22,5 in)

euan · 7th June 2009

Mathiasss · 7th June 2009

that was fast, thank you.

euan · 7th June 2009

I've been paying a lot of attention to this thread while I wait for mine to arrive.

(coming on 9 weeks)

olo · 7th June 2009

that blue bob jackson is an ugly build, in my opinion.

gbestley · 9th June 2009

Evening all,

Where have you guys been getting your Bob Jackson's from? I had mine built at Putney Cycles.

Thankyou.Most helpful.

waffle · 16th June 2009

barking up the wrong tree but on the off chance has anyone owned or ridden one of the olympus road frames? cant find any information on them apart from on the bj website so any experiences would be greatly appreciated

From Bob Jackson!

euan · 16th June 2009

When it was said Pearl White is nice, I didn't think it would be THAT nice.

Dasilva · 16th June 2009

Mathiasss · 22nd June 2009

does anyone know, how the viola chiaro is?

olo · 10th February 2010

anyone happen to know what the fork rake is on the vigorelli?

5'3" eek. I'm 5'8" and the toe overlap on my bike is annoying (over 1/2 an inch with size 7's).

Other than that and slightly suspect paint finish its dead brill!

Greasy Slag · 10th February 2010

edscoble · 15th March 2011

Go for the mudguard option, there is extra clearance, even with 28c tyres I can fit mudguard on, the Vigorelli is a grass-track frame, which mean enough clearance for mudguard and 28c tyre (max).

also, you can use gille berthoud mudguard if you don't like the look of those plastic mudguard.

i regret not having mine fitted for such

Regal · 15th March 2011

Ha, sorry Ed, just killed the post because I belatedly found just such a question from a while ago. UTFS fail originally.

It seems like the mudguard option is the way to go, I'd rather have proper full mudguards than Raceblades if they'll fit ok.

edscoble · 15th March 2011

I've seen a Vigorelli put together in a very club racer appearance with mudguard, saddlebag and drop, can't find a picture though.
