Not much love for the geared Jack Bobsons round these parts! Here's mine - had it for years. Apparently a late 70s TT frame but that's all I know about it.
I originally ran it as a fixie with magic ratio which was conveniently 48/16:
I kept it like that for years but the gearing was limiting when my commute changed. Stuck these drop bars on it at some point and that HORRIBLE stem:
More recently put it back to a geared bike. I initially built it up as a low-rent TT bike with 1990s style components. That's actually a HED under the Corima decals, modified Profile copy TT bars, 6-speed Shimano SIS with Biopace:
By no means a serious build but I could go fast on it. Was just about to use it in anger and managed to shit my knee earlier this year so the aero stuff has come off and it's replaced my geared commuter. Not got a pic but it's back on spoked wheels, layback post, Unicantor saddle and a less ridiculous stem.
