Nice, so very nice....

Is this an OTP conversion? Forward facing dropouts?

I tried Brick Lane on the Saturday, but with the train line works there was not a bike market to be seen.[/quote]

The market is Sunday not Saturday

I've just had a big chat with a very nice chap at Bob Jackson and it seems a gent of my stature needs a 21.5 inch Vigorelli, I'm thinking your frame must be 22 or 22.5 inches, (am I right?) sadly too big for me. So as they say on Dragons Den, "I'm out" :(

By the way, the BJ guy said there's a 5-6 week wait for an off the peg right now! Do they even get on the peg anymore?

I'm very interested in your Bob Jackson frame/fork, any chance of a viewing/buying before 10th?
it would be good to check the size is a fit.
Good luck with the exams!

Hi, is the Bob Jackson 56.5cm seat tube measured centre to centre, or c to top?
Thanks

sorry about that no pic situation, I'm just getting used to all this...

Yeah, whatever..!..

Hey! what's with the aggro?
I think, Torpedo Contsruction, you need to check out the border between civility and hostility. For the vast majority of people (I know(and like)) the boundary has become quite flexible, a spacious and fertile ground, like a park, where fun can be had. (Have you ever felt the joy of fluent interpersonal skills? Imagine sarcasm, imagine irony, imagine a world where we can revel in our contrary ways. Cant you enjoy taking a dent in your defenses sometimes, for that's where humour lives) I feel that boundary has become a salt encrusted razors edge for you. a barbed wire pain in the face or maybe just a brick slap. If you could give everyone here a little give, you would immediately receive a fair bit of slack. Ya Get Me?

I've seen these around a lot recently on ebay and gumtree, I've heard they're just cheap bikes with crap components so prob not stolen just not very good.

here's another one BIN £199.99

Yeah, the odd quill seatpost is original and just a little too short for me, I've already raised it a little further than I should and could use a longer one but that seems to be impossible to find.
On the bright side, no one's going to steal the seat, It takes me a good 5 minutes just to adjust it!

I did splash out a bit on a decent wheelset so maybe it's not a *lot *cheaper than a Plug, but then I've got a big box of bits that came off it I could flog. I took the much recommended goldtec, open pro route and they're brilliant, they make the whole setup feel very solid and seem to smooth out the speedbumps a bit.

Does yours not have the Aneto decal on the top tube?

Hey PJ, I'm new here and was forced to become a member by coincidence.
Firstly, your bike looks gorgeous, really elegant brakeless.
I hope it's not rude to jump in here but...
On Monday afternoon I finished cobbling together my first fixed, it's been a long time coming but boy is it worth it. Then last night I saw your bike on here and... whoa! Double take! CFX10!? I know mine is a bit rough and ready but surely there has been a coincidence here.
Mine is a work in progress, risers will soon go in favour of flats , chainline needs to be finessed and the rear brake will go when I'm good and ready but I know this already, for a lot less than a Plug or whatever I have put together the beginnings of a seriously proper machine, that frameset rides beautifully.
I've been lurking around here for a few weeks now and I really appreciate this forum and it's collective wit and wisdom,
Thanks,
Matt
