For Sale: Bob Jackson Vigorelli 21.5"

Now Sold

Hi Folks

Due to iminent arrival of baby 2 I'm having to let go of my track bike.

Built up Summer 2010 - frame bought new from Bob Jackson (docs can be provided).

Spec is as follows:

• Frame: off the peg BJ Vigorelli (21.5"/54-55cm) - Reynolds 631 tubing - white paint with green lug lining.
  
• Velo Orange seatpost and stem (with shim)
  
• Chris King no threadset (green)
  
• Campagnolo Chorus crank (172.5mm) with 48t TA chainring
  
• Campagnolo Chorus BB
  
• Surly 18t cog with chain tug and KMC chain
  
• Wheels are miche track hubs laced to 32 spoke open pro rims. The front rim is buckled due to a knock I took on the Uxbridge road. I am happy to have replaced and rebuilt or discount the purchase to factor this.
  
• Continental gatorskin tyres (23mm)
  
• Campag Veloce Skeleton brake caliper
  
• Tektro brake lever with cane creek stoker grip
  
• Brooks green leather bar tape
  -Trek "angel" bottle cage
  
• Crud catcher mudguards fitted.
  
• Pictured with a chopped and laced Brooks which I would rather keep and happy to replace with a Korean made Swallow look-a-like pictured below.
  
  

The bike is in good condition considering being ridden in London - there are marks on the frame though mostly around the chainstays. As stated above I took a hit whilst riding home but was at a relatively low speed and the front wheel took the damage.

After the above full disclosure, I'm looking for offers in the region of £600.

I'm based in the Ealing area if you'd like to have a look in the flesh but could potentially arrange pick up in Oxford Circus (please no time wasters!).

Thanks for checking this out - I promise to clean the bike before sale!

Nice, but mate - you might have a much better response if its bloody clean....

yeah I know - been pretty short on time, will get round to it and post new pics asap!

Is it drilled for a rear brake ?

afraid not. additional drillings for mudguards only.

Clean me

Is it 1 1/8"? Would be interested in Frameset if splitting.

No its a 1" steering column. Would rather not split at the moment.

Yeah a damn good clean and a decent photo shoot without all that crap in the background, nothing more anoying than guys like you that dont bother to make an effort!

wow, thanks for the bump/forthright criticism. Its like having Mary Portas on the forum!

Notwithstanding the cleanliness of the bike, any comments on the components or value of the sale are welcome!

About a fiver's worth in that state matey!

Still waiting for new photos...

**New clean pictures as promised!

Further to questions received - I am happy to consider swapping out the Chris King for a cheaper headset and consider a lower offer.

Please PM if of interest.

Thanks

Love this saddle.

£600 seems like a good deal for a Bob.

Lovely touch on the headset/bar tape combo.

Alright folks, given the slow response I'm prepared to drop the price to £540 and I will swap out the Chris king for an mpart or similar model and will have the front wheel rebuilt.

Any takers?

Here she is in "track mode" - any recent world cup inspired buyers???

The front wheel is being rebuilt this week so will be fully functioning soon. Happy to provide in either build up.

Still not splitting?

nice bike at a fair price

I love my Bob Jackson Vigorelli, well recommended. I guess it's the story about hitting something that's putting people off.
