Do you know how old it is? Most Bob Jacksons with those capped seat stays have the BJ engraving on the cap. My Vigorelli is from 2004 and has the engraving so I guess yours would be a fair bit older than that. That would explain the differences.
Looks like a more classic track geometry (steeper angles and tighter clearances) whereas the Vigorelli has more of a track/road mix. I’m sure BJ could do a custom frame with that geometry if you wanted.

Cool project but $5k for a G Shock with an ETA 2824 in seems very steep. Not loving the finishing on the hands or dial either TBH

Agree totally - plus geometry, design purpose and age (MTB geometry has evolved a lot in the last few years) will have a much bigger impact than wheel size alone.

Good stuff - only reason I asked is that the WI freewheel is £100 so you probably want to make sure you’re happy with the ratio before you put down the cash!

Lovely looking bike! SS MTBs always look so purposeful.
White Industries ENO are considered pretty much the best freewheels. Not cheap though.
Are you already on 32:22? It will be pretty spinny on the trails with 27.5 unless you live somewhere super hilly. I used 32:20 on a 29er for the North Downs and that felt about right for that kind of terrain. But obv use whatever feels right for you!

I have a PRS29 Smiths Air Ministry to sell. Great watch and in great condition, but I have too many similar watches. I'd be looking for around £320. Let me know of you're interested

Don't hit any potholes...
Not surprised! Any reason to run such high pressures? If you dropped to eg 80psi it would probably make a bigger difference than changing the seatpost. Plus lower pressures are faster apparently.
