I was in need of a bike to get me to from Bristol to Paris in July. Seemed like a good excuse to buy a bike I have been lusting after for a long time. So after a lot of discussion with the guys at Bob Jackson i settled on the following off the peg frameset with a twist:
Frame - Audax end to end.
Size - 23”
Colour - Metallic Grigio
Colour of Transfers – White
Lug Lining – Black
Tubing Upgrades - Reynolds 631 Fork Blades, Reynolds 725 Rear Stays
Front and Rear Disc Mounts (rear inside chain and seat stay)
No pump pip.
So now for the fun bit of finding all the parts and building it. I'm expecting the frame mid June.
