Alternatives to Bob Jackson and Jacek Orlowski

Hi All,

I'm looking at buying a new frame and am looking for some inspiration. Currently looking at the BLB / Bob Jackson Collaboration Vigorelli or BLB 700c Orlowski Track both from Brick Lane Bikes. Any other suggestions? My frame budget is between £400 - £600.... Thanks in advance for your feedback

get a 14 frame.
they rule.

Or contact a frame builder directly, cut the shop out of the equation ;)

This might help http://www.londonfgss.com/thread11148.html

for that kind of price you could buy pretty much any second hand frame ( well with a few exceptions ) have a look on ebay / blb / tour de ville find something nice unique and special
rather than a BLB BOB or an Orlowski which are beconing two a penny these days

BLB's rack after rack of beautiful frames should provide you with some inspiration and if you can't find anything in there shame on you !
