The last Bob (sort of, but not really)

How are the CL pedals?

I haven't ridden them that much, but early impressions are good.

They're very smooth and solid, and obviously present a pretty wide platform for your feet / shoes.

They're almost certainly not worth the money, but I got them from Mrs Jangle for Christmas. Way better than novelty socks and poncy aftershave.

Great present!

I meant that the straps are routed on the underside ahead of the axle, rather than behind (marked in yellow)

Ha. That's actually just me being a complete penis.

I hadn't even noticed!

Quite how you spot stuff like that from a dodgy 'photo is beyond me.

Ha! I thought it was some kind of hack to make it easier to get in and out of the cages.

New seat post.

Big up to Sam at Fresh Tripe.

Enquired about this three or four months ago. They were out of stock, but Sam took my number and Lo and behold, he called me up when they came in.

Proper, old school service. 10/10.

Ooh! Is that the sim works S65?

bike gets better and better

Sim Works Beatnick, which is a clone of the Nitto S65.

Ta;)

Just so that I look the part on this, I asked Cory Brenn to make me a replica Greenspot Jacket.

This is on its way:

The lovely Mrs Jangle got me a new saddle bag for Christmas.

I have a small tour of Kent planned next month, where it will be put to good use. In the meantime, I took it down to the shops today:

I love seeing this bike, new bag looks v handsome

That's a really beautiful bike, some lovely component choices. Are the bars noodles?

Definitely one of the most beautiful bikes on the forum.

Yep.

Thank you ;)

I thought Bob Jackson were due to reopen in summer. I suppose that now is a non starter?

This is pretty much 10 / 10 with those new bags. So good!
I also have been wondering what's going on with Bob Jackson.

is it 9speed at the back? what is the rear wheel spacing?
+1 on the bags
I once got a mercian that was way too small for me but had very similar campag drivechain and nice wheels

10 speed, and 130mm

Petition to have new pictures of this bike posted every week.

NICEEEEEEEE M8! Same colour as my old roadie

Also WTF about Bob Jackson closing and WTF again about them not closing?? Any idea what they are up to? Repurposing as an electric bike dealer? Sort of romantically want another BJ made in tribute to my old ice blue metallic frame I had made and sold years ago.

This bicycle was stolen from my home earlier.

Please keep an eye out.

I am having a bad day.
