Bob Jackson (Vigorelli, etc)

What colour would you say this is? my guess is Flamboyant Royal Blue

Link to Flickr for a closer look

what tyres are those?

I thought they were Conti Gators?

lol ^

But yeah, any guesses to what colour that might be? I'm thinking either that blue/silver colour scheme, or Ivory with red decals and lug lining, what do you think?

looks metallic to me. I'd say "blue odd 3" or "blue s" or "cobalt"

just comment on flickr and ask the owner...

Rim fail. Fuck me what a crime. £100+ on those when NOS Campag go for £65 a pair

Still a very posh bike... but I'd have saved the Sugino's for a modern build too.

What seatpost size does bj use? (22,5 in)

27.2

that was fast, thank you.

I've been paying a lot of attention to this thread while I wait for mine to arrive.

(coming on 9 weeks)

that blue bob jackson is an ugly build, in my opinion.

Evening all,

Where have you guys been getting your Bob Jackson's from? I had mine built at Putney Cycles.

what tyres are those?

What rims are those.Araya Gold?

Hi Guys,

Thankyou.Most helpful.

barking up the wrong tree but on the off chance has anyone owned or ridden one of the olympus road frames? cant find any information on them apart from on the bj website so any experiences would be greatly appreciated

From Bob Jackson!

When it was said Pearl White is nice, I didn't think it would be THAT nice.

does anyone know, how the viola chiaro is?

anyone happen to know what the fork rake is on the vigorelli?

I'm going to order a Bob Jackson Vigorelli later on this month as well. Curious if the minus 11" works for others that have a BJ. I'm a girl so my inseam is just shy of 30" and my overall height is 5'3''

5'3" eek. I'm 5'8" and the toe overlap on my bike is annoying (over 1/2 an inch with size 7's).

Other than that and slightly suspect paint finish its dead brill!

Go for the mudguard option, there is extra clearance, even with 28c tyres I can fit mudguard on, the Vigorelli is a grass-track frame, which mean enough clearance for mudguard and 28c tyre (max).

also, you can use gille berthoud mudguard if you don't like the look of those plastic mudguard.

i regret not having mine fitted for such

Ha, sorry Ed, just killed the post because I belatedly found just such a question from a while ago. UTFS fail originally.

It seems like the mudguard option is the way to go, I'd rather have proper full mudguards than Raceblades if they'll fit ok.

I've seen a Vigorelli put together in a very club racer appearance with mudguard, saddlebag and drop, can't find a picture though.
