Bob Jackson 'alleycat'

Bar spins are not an essential, I just looked at this frame thinking it would be stronger than the Vigorelli, because it is marketed at a Ally Cat/Trick Frame due to trick frames normally being stronger. I ride bikes heavy and like the boxy feel of a straight bladed fork, that is why i started to look at this frame. If i to put a straight bladed fork on the Vigorelli then the toe overlap would be horrid. Get what i am saying?

With regards to BJ's customer service. Its absolutely and utterly cunting shite cunt fuck wank.

I had a nightmare with them with a scratched frame they sent me. They are rude, happy to call their customers liars and never get back to you when they say they will. I did post up about it before the server failure but it pisses me off so will unlikely write the full story again!

Nice frames, but I wouldn't buy from them again.

What is good about those compared to the BJ, you do them in BLB as well?

Much better Geometry and finish. Better quality paint. Better value for money.
And yes.

Have you ridden one? How do they feel, I cant work out if the fork in the photo of the frame on the blb site is straight bladed or not, how much are they?

To be fair, they haven't got time for private customers anymore; they're busy fulfilling lucrative shop orders in wacky colours.

This was mine.
Really nice ride, tight clearances, highly recommended.
I think they are about £400 f&f. (Harry please correct me if im wrong)

.

Wow, that does cool really nice, if they are cheaper that the BJ, then i might just. Do you not have it anymore PiQuE?

nah man, got stolen :(

That sucks, what you got now?

Just ordered a Woodrup track frame.
Will stick a picture up when it comes, have to wait until Jan.

So anyone got one of these. Apart from the decals it's purdy.

I never got one, I e-mailed bob jackson and as someone said in the thread, they are not very helpful. I am planning a trip to Leeds soon to see family so might go down and have a look at one...

hmmm, Looks a lovely frame, not sure about the forks though to be honest.

I like the forks tbh, and I really like the boxy blunt feel of a straight bladed fork..
You want one?

Yeah i think I actually might. I have a bit of a commute though so boxy forks might not be the answer.

I have a Vigorelli and went through a nightmare with them. Unhelpful is an understatement!

Yeah I looked up the thread and saw it was you who said you had a bad way with them..
Ill go have a look at them I think in the near future but if all is not what I think, ill go for an orlowski, how much are they harry? around 400?

Heres my BJ:

Did you find the bar set-up more comfortable this time?

I have to ask, why the chainstay protector? seemed kinda pointless since a fixed/singlespeed drivetrain never have any chain slap.

Thats really nice mate, I think I am going to go for a Orlowski anyway I have heard they are £385, but not sure if that is from blb or else where. Does anyone know where else I can get an Orlowski frame other than blb?

Whats wrong with us?
They are £400 here.

The only other place to get them is on the continent or 2nd hand.

Yeah much better thanks, although I will get another set of bars (track) and use them to swap out, along with removing the brakes to give track riding a go.

As for the chain stay protector, I had it spare so thought why not. I also suffer from extreme OCD.

Thats really nice mate.

Cheers mate, got there in the end.

25.5 inches? Really?? Looks like I'm gonna make a purchase real soon.

Yeah 25.5!
