Part 2

thank you jonny cycles

Some really beautiful bikes here. I love that last one in particular, the 'Reminton' - googling says that's a Japanese Keirin frame, right?

this was built for pope john paul II but for some reason he never rode it. full article here -

Here's a few bikes I quite like. They're Hufnagels.

Although. This is the sex.

Speaking of porn. When's the Bob going to be unveiled?

I was thinking the same.

Also, what is the delivery time on a Bobby J?

Hohoho you're getting tempted. For an off-the-peg vigorelli I think the delivery time is quite quick I think.

ps. This is pure speculation.

i waited three weeks for mine. if they don't have one in stock or you want anything fancy paint wise, it's around six weeks.

i'm going to get the wheels built next week and then it's a case of putting it together.......i still need a seatpost and a front brake caliper........and i may have a change of heart over the pedals - campag record clipless instead of the mks i have already........decisions! so - i'd guess within the next month.

Campag clipless? Why? I know it's Record but it's not an industry standard. Why not just get the best Look Keo pedals you can buy? or MKS RX-1s!

aye - there's decisions to be made. i already use look keo on my other bikes.......i'd like an excuse to buy new shoes though.........i'll be using the mks with clips until i decide probably.

i think so - it might be worth just giving them a call. i think for a standard vogorelli f&f it was £345. (postage was about £19 on top.)

do it.

I've found I've been liking the Langster Monaco edition the more I see it. I'm just a sucker for the livery

I don't doubt it.

But what about the Bob Jackson? That is what I want to know.

I'll have one before you do at this rate.

I specced up my dream build last night. Pricey, but I have cheaper subs for ever part.

when i specced the bob jackson up it ended up being a very similar build to the paul smith mercian..........just about £1200 cheaper.

i have about five dirfferent dream bikes going on my head at any one moment!

so euan - what's the specs?

Sugino 75 cranks
Phil Wood front and rear hubs + Phil Wood sprocket
Phil Wood bottom bracket
Mavic Open Pros probably.
Everything else as the Mercian, except maybe the titanium Rolls saddle and a Nitto seatpost. Not sure about the brakes to be honest.

Nae Chris King.

Don't I know it. This is all I did when I was sat on my ass unable to do anything but watch shitty TV.

Total comes to like £550 or so and result in a bike I'm too afraid to ride.

The obsession continues. No need to ask whether it's the hat or the young lady that attracted you there...

I didn't realise that it was an NJS hat.

She looks like she needs a good nights sleep.
