No love for the Preamble here yet? Looks like a good commuter
The Preamble looks like an interesting bike. The thing that would most put me off about it are the weight and that it is only supplied with 35mm tyres when it has clearance for 41mm.

Great 12-person Numbus tent, low usage. All parts included. Has a small leak at one junction between rooms, so needs re-waterproofing or use on dry days only. There are three large separate bedrooms, a centra area and then a porch area. There are ground sheets throughout. Cool box, table and chairs, dog and wife not included.

Free to a good home.
Pick up from N12.

Sad to hear this. There is more Swrve stuff in my wardrobe that I care to admit!

The 560 you paid in 2018 was not allowing them to be a functioning company.
If you want a similar frame for ~560 you can get a steamroller, but as you have already mentioned they aren’t the same quality so you should not be surprised (or upset) that the price is different.
Good point and agree with +jmg412
I count myself lucky to have bagged that frame before they folded (and then resurrected).
The Steamroller is still a really good frame. I'd happily ride one again.

We’ll be offering a Vigorelli, an End to End / Audax, and an Olympus in set sizes from 50cm to 62cm. We’ll be building in 725 as a default, this offers significant improvements over 631 at a relatively small price difference. 853 will be an optional upgrade.
We are putting together a frame shop team and production will be headed up by Steve Woodrup, these frames will be hand built in Leeds where Bob Jackson belongs.
Audax/End-End in Reynolds 725 with standard lugs and all appropriate eyelets - £1585.
Vigorelli (singlespeed/fixed) in 725 with standard lugs will - £1550
Olympus (road racing) in 725 with standard lugs - £1585
Each of these frames can be upgraded to Reynolds 853 for £150I respectfully disagree that this is a relatively small price difference. I bought a 631 Vigorelli in 2018 for £560, which included several custom options. £1550 is near treble the cost!

You mention Surly, Brother, Crust and Thorn.
To me Bob Jackson is separate from all of those.
Got to agree 100%. I had a Surly Steamroller for several years, which was a really good ride. Replacing it with a Vigorelli was a step up in class. Plus lots of custom option in the build of the frame.

Just fitted new Dia-Compe mudguards to my Vigorelli and while it was on the stand I took the opportunity to install a new chain. This is my commuting mode, with coffee flask and Carradice Barley.

Anyone after a 53? I'm thinking of putting mine up for sale either as frameset or full build pending what would be more desirable
What do you want for it?

I love the finish on the blue paint - great build and looks like a lot of fun to ride.

Is this still for sale?

Has anyone got a set of the Wabi Sub 15 Superlight wheels? I'm interested to know how they ride and if they are reasonably robust.
Aside from being all nice a retro looking, they weigh in at 1,475g.
