How heavy/tall and what are you using it for? I have a 22' vigorelli http://graphicoutput.blogspot.com/ which is an otp ridden hard every day as my main bike and its been more than enough, btw im 11 1/2 stone and 6'2 but the standard tubing has been fine as far as stiffness goes, hope that helps :)

keeping it as original as possible as a promise to the old owner, but i share your love of the pantographed bits, i didnt expect it to be as nice when me mate said i could have it :) Loving the Bob j so much at the moment i have hardly been out on the moser tho

cheers man, its in bits as we speak.

New bars, stem and tape on the Bob J...

will do, cheers for the advice, im determined to get the brooks in a comfortable position, it was okay on me old bike...sods law

Only know the basics myself but if its a fairly straight forward site i can show you how to setup home page/about/contact pages etc and how to link. if you have thought of a layout as well could show you how to slice it up in photoshop and import to dreamweaver, might get you started

aye at the moment it is a gooch/wrist trade off, saddle angle is a bit less extreme since these photos, new stem going on so we'll see if that helps.

cheers ricky yeah i still feel like its christmas every time i go out on it honeymoon period and all that, viking i think you've nailed all the points that have been niggling in me own mind especially the stem its just a bit to much of a reach, its gonna get some brooks tape as well once me bank balance has recovered the idea of 40 quid on bar tape still smarts a bit :)
Tristan good to meet you today as well thanks for giving me a shout in town, sorry if i was in a bit of a daze i didn't get to bed until 7 this morning and i think i was still a little bit pissed :)

Nice one viking, I'll not be down this Sunday but will def pop down next weekend to say hello and see what is what, i live close by so Gosforths spot on, look forward to meeting up and having a bit of crack.

cheers man i'll be well up for it, ive put out feelers for a frame today so hopefully i can get a polo bike together fairly easily over the next month or so, be good to meet up with you guys, i'll give you's a laugh while i wobble about the place.

Whats the crack as far as polo goes by the way, Im fairly unhealthy after having a few years of partying with no exercise, but i was well up for building a beater and having a bash. How easy is it to get into ?

You'll probably see me about with my Mrs i have just got her an old 70's Raleigh Merlin 5 speed picked up from Recyke, we are both trying to get fit for a months cycling trip to Holland and France this summer, starting in the dam ofc...

kinda want the frame for a pub bike for myself but my lass loves it to much

cheers cg,was there 2 of you with bikes out the front of windows arcade?

haha no worries, yeah im loving the goldtecs as well from all accounts they should see me fit for a while without any bother, i was well happy when they turned up build qualities lovely :)

Alright peeps, im Jonny from Sandyford, only been riding fixed this year but been lurking about the forums for a while, just built up a Vigorelli and thought I would chuck it up for a bit of feedback, its pretty much as i want it but on the wishlist is a set of drops and maybe some tape to match the seat, even managed to get a picture of me thumb in the photos, anyway enough of the essay...
