Here's their spec list:

Have a nosey through it and you'll get a ballpark figure about what you're after.
Alternatively, give them a ring.
They'll be grumpy about it, but brush that off - ask for either the specifics you are after, or a web address that you can consult.
Be brief about what you want and be specific - they are extremely busy and get snotty with small talk, but the frame you'll get will be ace! I had one about five years ago and it was awesome, and my Legend frame is pure art.
One other thing - think about going custom. It really worked for me, and with a custom you get ANY paint combination you want thrown in for no extra charge.

hmmn - not sure about custom. i cant really afford it and i've got a couple of otp frames that i like a lot so not sold on the extra cost yet tbh.
thanks for the geometries sheet - i'd seen that already but wasn't sure how close the otp audax club would be to either the racers of the tourers, or maybe somewhere in the middle.best thing would be to find someome with one in the size i'm thinking of and try it.

Are the vigorelli geometries square?
Their site says all sizes are c-t-c, so I guess sizes are just the seattube measurement c-t-c.
Anyone know what the tt length is? - or more specificaly what size would have a 52-54cm tt?
Cheers.

Mines a square 51. A common top tube length for a 51 is 52/53, so I'm assuming they all are.
I now have a 120mm stem* to achieve my preferred 53tt + 10stem set-up. Which is inserted as far as it will go into the headtube. The 52 would fit better and might allow the quil to insert further giving the same resultant bar height. But I'm practicaly climbing on using curbs as it is. Shameful.
(*this is with bull bars. With drops the extra saddle set-back made a 110mm stem a good fit)

Cheers - thats exactly the ans I'm looking for.

If you are going for 52 - 54. I'd pick the 52 and use a longer stem, as opposed to a 54 and a shorter one.
A lot of track frames have a very steep seat tube angle, which would lead to you placing your saddle further back than usual. This will add to your reach. I'm not sure the BJ has such a steep seat tube, as it is a grass track frame. But my saddle is just under 1cm further back than usual. So the 52 might fit more like a 53 anyway.
Worth considering.
