Bob Jackson (Vigorelli, etc)

So this would work?

That will definitely work.

bad reference pic ahoy >
is a 22" (approx. 56cm)
took five and a half weeks from order to deliver.

I have a massive desire for a cinelli pinocchio stem & some zero drop syntace strados bullhorn bars
(or lino blissbee & jag)

And here's my Vigorelli in track mode at the Helsinki velodrome. Going to change the stem to 100 mm Nitto Jaguar for the next summer.

And the same in city mode with Nitto Noodle.

Anyone in the London area with a Vigorelli i could see? I want to get one but wanna see one in the flesh first =)

How does the Fuji compare to the Jackson on ride quality?

I have no idea - Regal is the person to ask.

In the meantime, here's my readers wife:

I've got a 52cm vig, I'll be at Nocturne and the night ride to Deal this month.

Edit: not riding bob to deal now.

If anyone comes across an ice-blue metallic Vigorelli with barbershop seat tube on their travels let me know. Sold it to a German fella I think, about 5 years ago

Nice, I do have the occasional eBay glance for them.

How mine is from March -

Bob by Plus one2010, on Flickr

I owned a cromo Fuji and a 631 Vigorelli concurrently.

The Bob always felt a little more plush - longer chainstays, that nice fork and tubing probably making a difference there. The Fuji felt stiffer... maybe.

How does the Fuji compare to the Jackson on ride quality?

An OTP cheap mass produced frame vs. a locally made lugged steel frame?

I reckon you already know the answer.

Leeds vs Taiwan as centres of industrial excellence? You really want to go there? ;-)

How else can we experience this wonderful waiting time of the English framebuilder?

Bought @Botherington's BJ vigorelli, turned it into my favourite commuter yet.

Two-speed SRAM automatix with coaster brake.

(Sorry I scraped a bit of the ST decal off carrying it home on that rack)

Hope you enjoy it!

Sorry I scraped a bit of the ST decal.

It's a Bob Jackson, bird shit are tougher than their paint.

Mine - currently for sale - frame/forks

Ex @rogan 's Bob which I've had for a year now. Most of the paint fell off the rear triangle and is generally a bit too easy to chip, but the chrome is doing ok and has been pretty rust resilient. Really enjoying riding this on and off track.
