Bob Jackson step-through, Reynolds 631, 51 cm

Hi Guys,

Have this Nice little Bob Jackson step-through for sale. Seat post and stem move freely, and both the headset and bottom bracket are smooth. All cables are new and could do with a bit of tightening where they’ve stretched. Specifics below:

Frame size:
Reynolds 631
51 cm seat tube c-t-t
53 cm effective top tube c-t-c

Group + bits:
Sora 9 speed rear and front mechs (practically new)
Tiara 9 speed triple chainset (great condition)
Dura ace 7700 shifters (bit ratty but functionally no problems)
Nitto 65 seat post
Nitto dynamic 10 stem (As new)
Nitto grand randonneur bars (As new)
Spa cycles leather saddle (not broken in)
Tektro r559 long drops (new)
KMC chain (new)

Wheels:
Tiagra rear hub, Shimano dynamo front, rigida Sputnik rims, dt Swiss spokes. Loads of braking surface left and bearings are all smooth.

Bad points:

• Couple of chips as you’d expect, no rust to mention
  
• Bit of a sad/odd one - the guy who I bought it off had dementia and for some reason cut off the ends canti mounts, and drilled the game for calliper brakes. Its a surprisingly neat job to be fair to him, and hasn’t caused me any problems. (See photo)
  
  

Located in Bristol, not particularly keen on posting if it can be avoided.

Price: £400

Thanks for looking!

Pics pls

Will upload when my phone stops having a fit!

Sounds like a pretty sensible move to me.

Haha, poor chap.

If you were a stickler for cantis, I think you could almost certainly just buy the 6mm inserts off of here:

A bit like what you used to have do with some old school forks

Ohh Lovely, does that Sora group work with thumb shifters? My wife refuses to ride drop bars.

Yes, that's pretty easy to set up - Sora or Tiagra thumbies work well, just make sure you get triple left one if intend to use all three rings.

Nice bike GLWS

Interested on behalf of a friend in London (if ever you’re headed out this way?); she’s 5’8, generally rides a 54 and wondering about fit - would just raising the seat post work given the 53tt?

Really hard to say, I think it would be ok but depends on her specifics I suppose.

If it doesn’t sell more locally I will be making a trip to London soon, so could always bring it along!
