Bob Jackson Cycles

To keep discussion slightly on topic, anyone can enlighten me as to approximate age or model of the frame? Can provide more pictures if that would help! Ridiculous clearance at the fork up front (only some 25mm will fit) and stupid amount of toe overlap. Also very low BB that has recently sent me off the bike when cornering..

Find the serial number on the BB shell or steerer tube and contact BJ? Even 1980s had that crazy small clearance trend (but the BJ decal is different that era). 🤷

This discussion needs more @AlexD

I’ve been waiting years for bolly chat to occur on here. And it happens on a Bob Jackson thread :-D

Can I get a "Sona Sona" or at the very least "Chaiyya Chaiyya" in this chat?

I can stretch to an 'Udi Baba' I reckon.

Ooof! An Asha Bhosle 80s classic.
Here's a quintessential Asha gem with some Mohammed Rafi thrown in for good measure, from the 60s!!

@dubtap the pre-90s bollywood stuff really does it for me... 90s onwards, the music becomes more legit and genuinely awesome. Almost too nice and polished. But i do love me some A.R. Rahman.

Also, massive apologies to Bob Jackson fans for instigating the Mother of all thread derailments.

That’s from Gumnaam right? I don’t have the soundtrack but think I’ve got that track so assume I’ve got the EP from it maybe. Love the earlier RD (and SD!) Burman scores I’m going on a binge now - I’ll blame this place when the kids start to complain.

It's from Teesri Manzil... Yep, that's a 1966 R.D. Burman joint.

Nice collection of vinyls there. I've looked for old bollywood vinyl on my trips back but they're often used as decoration in bars/shops. Spotify is surprisingly good for that stuff tho.

often used as decoration in bars/shops

Ha yeah I’ve seen some pretty bad cases of that! Worst was in Istanbul - there was a bookshop that had pretty much all of the big record collector nerd ‘wants’ pasted to the wall. Thousands worth of records!

There’s a record shop in Cambridge MA that had/has a 1k soul record sleeve pinned open on the wall. They got/get shit for it all the time, but they received it with no vinyl.

Thanks, for this link.
I also saw this article - which implies some sort of activity in the next couple of months

We’re looking at opening in around six months.” [article date: 26th Jan21]

Anyone know where I might be able to get some forks for a Bob Jackson Audax frame? Partner crashed hers today and the forks are a write-off (see wanted thread https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/369673/ )... I've sent an email to the address of the BJ website, but please let me know if you have a spare one lying around! Thanks

Thanks mate !!!

That's a massive stem on that yellow Mercian :)

Ha ha! It’s really too small (the frame) so I tried to make it work with stem and seatpost at MAXIMUM…
…and it kind of did. But not really. So it’s languishing in the loft :(

That's also what every loft should look like.

Lol. Not sure others in my family would agree.

After a year of silence their Instagram has posted again
