Bob Jackson Cycles

Where did you see that? Will have to get my vig order in if true.

They have just e-mailed me, apaarently they have new investors.

Good to hear.

NOW they should do a Palace collab bike.

And double their prices and get some bikes with 142mm ends and big tyre clearances.

Ben, when did you get all modern?

Not me mate. I’m all about the 26” revival.

I have also heard this rumour.

Is this what you saw @Jingle_Jangle?:

Bob Jackson Cycles have the great pleasure to announce that they will no longer be closing as planned on the 18thDecember.

Additional investment and support has been secured to ensure the iconic brand of Bob Jackson Cycles will be continuing well into the future whilst thankfully remaining at our historic Leeds factory. We will continue to build and restore frames to our exceptionally high standards and the current skilled team will be retained and expanded to allow us to take on additional work, whilst investing heavily and improving our processes and facilities to align with expected future demand.

With immediate effect - We are now open to all retail and trade orders and will be communicating some exciting news over the next few months as we realign the business towards future sustainability whilst protecting and building upon our amazing heritage.

We apologise and regret any confusion or distress our decision may have caused over the preceding few months – but we fully intend to be around for at least another 85 years – doing what we do best.

We look forward to welcoming both old and new customers to Bob Jackson Cycles as we begin a new chapter in the long story of this incredible company.

palace collab confirmed

I've also heard this rumour. In fact I've seen it!

Hah

All this just makes me want to get @skalliwag (Varonha) to build me something before he can’t be arsed any more!

It is, I have also spoken to them.

Do it.

Thanks for sharing the good news!

I think you'll be ok with Winston, that is unless the quality of daytime tv vastly improves, apparently that's what he'd be doing if not building/repairing frames.

I encourage this also!

huh - leeds did win the challenge cup...

'The iconic brand..'
it's not a bicycle manufacturer .. just another brand..

It’s a brand, not just another bicycle manufacturer.

Oh god, hopefully not another Chater Lea or Freddie Grubb please...

Holdsworth?

I’ll begrudgingly allow holdsworth. Those PlanetX frames at least weren’t total mutton dressed as lamb.

They were fucking awful!
