Bob Rat - 1960s Bob Jackson Tarck Bike - Yes Fam!

^ you're too kind - I didn't feel it was quite up to the standard of the Gitane sales thread, but glad you like it!
Re: Chainring - I'm amazed it's taken this long for anyone to comment!

Would it take a front brake if needed? I think so but just checking as I don't do brakless.

Oh and can you write all classifieds from everyone from now on? It's make things much easier all around.

Indeed the forks have been drilled for a brake - I've never fitted one so I can't give any further info on it other than it's there, it's round, and it goes the whole way through!

glad you like the ad. - it's always a bit of a wrench selling something you love, so it's nice to make it as enjoyable an experience as possible!

goddamn, this bike is just stunning, if I had all the money in the world...

I want this a lot. Could someone do me a favour and buy it before I get back from the craft 100 festival.

Want to swap for a Small Brooklyn?

Bump for it being fucking sick! Sadly too small for me :( Good luck with the sell.

Don't tempt me - I think I'm the only man in Ascot that doesn't have a Brooklyn!
Seriously tho, I do have to sell this for cash as my shed has almost fallen down and I sold my garage, so I do need some kind of workshop/bikeshed ASAP!

#pikeyshed

Cheers for the bump!

The list for craft 100 looks pretty good so you'll have probably forgotten all about this thread by the time you get back!

If you sell this beauty, what do you need a shed for? :)

Good point, I've hardly got any bikes left now!
Trying to reach n+1rvana and declutter my life!

Yeah, sorry, no room at Dry towers for this aswell as the new impulse Dave Lloyd.

I'm surprised you've still got this!

I'm surprised you've still got this!

I wasn't around over easter weekend, but the story so far is:

• @giofox88 has 1st dibs - I'm waiting for him to get back to me on a test ride this week.
  
• 2nd dibs @andpurnell
  
• 3rds @iannn
  

Landlord unexpected eviction notice is forcing me to undibs this beautiful bike. Good to go to the 2,3,4,5..n-th dibser, ride the hell out of it!

Wow, hope you solve the issue with the eviction!

Yeah, I just figured out I have no rights, and all I can do is just suck it up and move.

Yeah I think UK laws tend to protect landlords more than tenants

To bring the story to a close, the bike was shipped to andpurnell on Saturday Morning - Happy riding!
@giofox88 - All the best for your house-hunting
Thanks to all of you for making this an amusing and generally enjoyable parting!
Here's a shot of bob-rat shortly before being boxed up for shipping!

llp

Saw you riding it up by Virgina water lake on Thursday (I think?) must've been the final ride! was a seriously good deal

Was that you on the motorbike? - it was indeed the final ride, and a nice day for it.
Went straight into the box when I got home!

Naa in the car...

Yeah definitely, made my week of the worst work I do that much more bearable!
