For Sale: Le Bob Rat - Bob Jackson Track Bike - SOLD

It's New Year. It's time to get yourself a new bike.

I'm reluctantly selling my treasured Bob Jackson track bike. Purchased from @Rik_Van_Looy some years ago. I now have another bike to ferry my daughter around on so this has to go.

I bought a copy of the original build certificate from Bob Jackson which is a lovely addition to a forum classic. I also have some new decals kicking around incase you wanted them.

Description:

Frame: Seat tube: 21" (53cm), Toptube: 22" (56cm), 531 Frame & Forks with Prugnat Lugs, Campagnolo Ends
Headset: Chris King NoThreadset (With Woundups) Chris King 2-nut with OG forks
BB: RPM/Sugino 7420
Wheels: Rear: Araya VX-300 on DaBomb rear bolt-on (19T Velosolo Disc-cog) Front: Phil Wood x TB14
Stem: Thomson
Bars: Easton Monkey
Saddle: Stripped Flite
Seatpost: Super light FRM
Chainset: 170mm Shimano 105 with 52T Stronglight Carbon 3/32 Chainring (Left crank is a Dotek 170mm in a similar pattern to the RH arm)
Brake: Cane Creek Crosstop lever, Shimano 105
Chain: Silver KMC Z510HX

Currently fitted with Wound Up Carbon Forks (Drilled)

I'm 5'8", Rik is 6'1" - the Geo makes this bike pretty flexible IMO. I have a shorter steam with still a fair bit of seat post and its perfect for me. Rik ran a long stem and drops and it was good for him too.

Bike is located in Glasgow, so shipping is fine.

I'll sell this with or without the Wound Ups.

Price/s
Without Wound Ups: £380 exc. postage
With Wound Ups: £500 exc. postage and OG fork (Chris King threaded headset not included).

Will add more pictures in the next few days. Worth checking out Rik's original post as the frame/some parts are much the same.

Happy to chat prices if I am well off as well. Hard to price this kind of thing up. I am also happy to chat about splitting if enough people want bits and pieces.

Sorry you have to let it go
Good to see it looking so well
Price looks good too

dibs on the wound up if you split it

cheers @gubhi - already had a few messages about the wound ups.

I'll see what other interest I get in the full build before splitting. Will keep you updated though.

okay, thats cool, could you provide the steerer tube length aswell?

cheers @andos

@gubhi sorry for the late reply. Sure thing I'll measure tonight and let you know.

I'm also bumping the price, see below:

Without Wound Ups: £280 exc. postage
With Wound Ups: £400 exc. postage and OG fork (Chris King threaded headset not included).

100 £ drops on both options. Bit of a steel (badumtoosh)!

thank you

Wo wo like this have a bump

Now splitting this.

Had lots of interest in the woundup forks and also the frame.

Will list all parts over the next day or two. If anyone is interested give me a shout.

Prices so far:
Woundup Forks: £200
Frame and Fork with BB and CK Headset (bit tatty but still super smooth) £180
Wheelset: £50
Thomson Stem: £20
Stripped Flite: £20
FRM Seatpost: £20
Chris King No threadset: (great condition) £35
Easton Money Bars (cut will confirm size): £20

Still need to measure the steerer tube length for @gubhi

I'd be interested in taking the whole bike without the woundup forks, how much would postage be to London do you reckon?

do a dib if selling front wheel alone? pmd

Dibs on wheels please! In Glasgow too so can collect whenever suits!

@TomxD PMd

@sqwonk PM'd

@user71349 also PM'd

@gubhi and @haveo were both interested in the Wound Ups. So for you guys and anyone else, the steerer length is 220mm.

Cheers
Andrew

Unlikely second dibs on wheels, also in Glasgow. Sad to see this nice thing parted out!

Unlikely second dibs on whole frame please. Would require shipping

The bike has been sold. I'll be moving the remaining parts for sale to a new thread shortly.

Wound Ups still available plus a few other bits.
