My Laverack J.ACK

Stunning looking bike . I am very tempted to get rid of three of my bikes and get one of these ( I would still keep my van nickolas Ventus though lol )

What is it like to ride ? And what’s it’s approx weight ? Any info would be gratefully received.😀

It’s a lovely bike - really smooth and I feel massively confident cornering - it’s as steady as a very steady thing indeed.
My goal was to get a “slightly gravel” bike that was as fast as my old road bike - a Focus Izalco. Laverack thought that they could deliver that - as the J.ACK is aimed at being a 4 season bike that can take rough roads and cobbles in its stride - and I think they did. They lengthened the chain stays by 5mm to allow me to ride 40mm (probably 42mm actually) tyres.
I’m still having saddle issues though, which need sorting before I can do more than a couple of hours. I’ve never found a saddle I’m happy on, to be honest, but I’m going to try much harder having bought this dream retirement bike with no expense spared!
The bike weighs exactly 10kg.

Now with Conti Gran Prix GT 28c tyres, the old Ti Airborne seatpost off my Van Nick (shim needed) & the Ti railed Fizik Arione...
Test ride = 'Nice'

That’s lovely

Thank you both

Mudguards (SKS) soon, began today - sort of gave up (cutting stays to size, actually reading instructions) and went for a ride instead
Tomorrow looks possibly damp so...

Ti Stem & bottle cages to come next. Hunt 50 mm Tubeless carbon wheels might be next too, With tubeless GP 5000 28’s tan wall.

Wowzer.. nice one dear chap. Long time coming. Look forward to it.

Pedals on order - so excuse the obvious... and new mudguards are in the garage pending installation. Probably won't get out to try it until Sunday but I have all winter/spring/summer/autumn... etc.

Superb chap. Dogs danglies that.
Hope to see it in the flesh one day soon.

Looks nice.
I'm starting to think that PX Ti frames are the new blue Ribble Winter bike. Every coffee stop will have one.

They are brilliant you could spend 3k-4k on an artisan posh brand frame but riding it you won’t be able to tell any difference.

Got a bit impatient and chucked some old pedals on it and took it for literally a spin around the block - very smooth feeling - nice. Shame the saddle tilted backwards mid ride and it started raining to go with the wind! Will properly fix mudguards tomorrow and switch saddle to a trusted one that's comfy. Ride report will come later this weekend. Will see how long the stock tyres last - it will easily take 40mm gravel or 42-45mm slicks the 32 it came with felt pretty comfy though.

I quite agree. One of the PX Ti bikes will be mine. I've had it for a year and I didn't bother riding my CF best bike this year.
