  Thanks guys. I wanted a straight top tube as I have a sloping top tube with my Vernon Barker. I did the BJ in bike cad and didn't like how it looked with 700/700 and didn't mind the nod back to the old days. Like in this picture I did as part of some family photos we took.

  Excuse the crappy scan - looks much nicer in the flesh.
  Everything is Dura Ace series 74xx including the stem and seatpost. Took a long time to cobble it all together.

  Just an update quite a while later on a Bob Jackson I had custom built. I was worried it would be too low and I took too much off the steerer but in the end it is perfect for me. 26 inch front wheel.

  Cheers

  Vernon Barker is small - I am about 166cm. 50cm top tube.

  BJ was never on ebay - not this one anyway. I designed it in Bikecad and had BJ build it and just took receipt of it in December. Fillet brazed beauty. The steerer will be lopped off soon enough.

  Cheers.

  Possibly the only Vernon Barker lo-pro in Australia? 24 inch front wheel. Dura Ace 74xx everything (except for Ultegra/Tiagra 11-19 corn cob cassette -- story found here http://www.bicycles.net.au/forums/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=36393). Maybe should have gone Mavic GLs but don't like the look when the anodising rubs off.

  Thanks Bjorn.

  Realize it was tongue in cheek but nothing wrong with polished rims. My Vernon Barker that is actually nearly finished (polished up nicer now).
  The VB will only be a Sunday ride probably alternating with the new Bob Jackson (fixed) so carbon rims should be okay as not a daily ride. BJ due next year though.

  @Bjorn - May I ask what is the front rim and where did you get it and what cost? Getting a custom Bob Jackson made up and am tossing up between carbon 700/650 or polished deep Vs.

  Cheers.

  Hi JaseyJase,
  I post on BNA as well and have posted about Matuzmaster in Hungary. I think he may have some Moser pantograhed stuff. I bought my Moser from him and have nearly finished it. Although I went the pasta, rice and fish 'n chips route with a bit of Italian, Japanese and UK stuff on it.

  Cheers.
