did i see this rolling into Brixton a few months back? lovely bike
I've only had it a couple of weeks and have not ventured south of the river on it as yet.
Thanks +richardshill it feels like it's the bike that my old Surly always wanted to be.
After my Surly Streamroller frame was destroyed - the "Greenroller" - I grabbed the parts and built it up again around a Bob Jackson Vigorelli frame in British Racing Green. I am very happy with the gold lug liner and barber pole in ivory, as is the logo.
Went for a frame that would take an Ahead stem, which meant oversized tubes, and added mudguard eyelets and a drilled hole for a rear brake.
Some key components: V-Sprint built wheels with Miche hubs, Brooks Cambrian C17 saddle and Carradice zip roll saddlebag, Factory 5 chainset. And a brass bell attached to a special spacer from Fresh Tripe.
