Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Very nice. Is that the orig fork? It could be the picture but the rake seems a bit much for a track frame.

It is the stock fork. The JAckson vigorelli frames are grass track racers with slacker geometry than traditional track frames.

Very nice Rafi. I see you opted for the straight blade -- I thought about that for a bit but decided to go with the normal fork. The bike has a very classic, clean look.

I LOVE it. Clean simple lines, classic lugs. and I'm a sucker for straight blade forks.

Wow! Great lookin' bike.

Is it me, or is there a sudden influx of Bob Jackson's over the last few months?

Have another look at my new Jackson...

Sorry Miss Jackson... love is for real.

65 cm c-t. I was lucky that Reynolds make tubes long enough to fit my lanky arse on a bike. You should see me ride a 49 - its like a gorilla on a clown bike
