A little advice on frames

right ive been looking for a frame for a while know to do my winter miles,2/5 hour rides.i was going to get a pearson ,but the more i looked the more i started to like the bob jackson or the blb steel frame and all the nice trimmings phil hubs nitto bars etc etc,has anyone had experiance with these bikes with the kind of riding im goner do on them is it worth spend the extra money,im pretty sure the pearson will feel right,but the other 2 will sure look pretty

due to higher likihood of you smashing the fk out of it I would go with the cheaper one.
(winter conditions being more dangerous not a comment on your skills)

I've got a pearson and it is great, probably perfect for what you want - pretty relaxed, very light etc. But....I have also started collecting the bits (phils from US trip so far) for something more glamorous (pending a new job and subsequent £ increase). My bikes are for commuting and cafe styling though, not proper training.

fair comment

as a winter road trainer, you'd be wanting the pearson.

unless you want to double up on track with it as well?

in which case something with a higher BB and track geometry might be better, the BJs are pretty good in that dept.

Out of interest how does the Fuji Track compare in terms of geometry and BB height? Ta.

to what?

Sorry, not being clear. I just meant in comparison to a Pearson or BJ for example. I'm thinking as I get fitter I might well want to try the track. And although the bike is called Fuji Track I wonder if it lives up to its name or if this is more marketing/fashion/blah?

thankfully the fuji IS a genuine track bike.

they are the stock yearly hire bikes at HH (not the free ones!)

if you can afford it, and stand the wait get a BJ. @van

cheers guys ,im thinking i will need both brakes for my riding

@RPM - Cool! Good to know that, thanks Rob.
