FS (again!) custom small 631 Bob Jackson rohloff tourer

Hi folks,

Bought this back in October last year https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/353340/#comment15984790
It's such a wonderful, unusual, but deeply practical bike. As you can see in some of the photos it is capable of carrying a lot! But now, as per my post in the original thread, surplus to my needs. Since I acquired it, it has been fully serviced again by hub velo, has new brake cables and a new front tektro brake. Have tweaked the spec from the original ad below to reflect minimal changes.

The frame has quite a few cosmetic marks and scratches. I'm quite happy with a non-shiny bike given how much bike theft there is around here, but it could definitely use a fresh sandblast/repaint.
It had a new SRAM chain, Rohloff oil replaced, new Shimano brake pads (R55C4) in October 2020.

Specs:
Rare 2007 Bob Jackson 631 frame 19in seat tube 20.5 top tube
Rohloff Speedhub 500/14
FSA ORBIT XLII headset
Heat treated 6061 alu bars 52cm wide
Brooks leather grips
Thorn chainset 38T 11o BCD & 165mm cranks
Thorn seatpost
San Marco Rolls saddle
Ambrosio side pull brake (rear) tektro (front)
Allongha brake levers
Front wheel Schwalbe Marathon Plus 26x1
Rear wheel Panaracer Pasela 26x1.25 on Sun CR-18 rim Black with silver sides 32 hole

Included / can be included:
Rohloff manual
Rohloff replacement cable kit
SKS mudguards
wellgo pedals (new in October)
Pelago large front rack with Basil dutch bike crate
Brooks C17 saddle can be fitted if desired
Panaracer Pasela PT 1.75 pair of tyres
Thomson stem and velo orange bar setup (this is current setup, sale includes original setup and I would prefer to keep this thomson stem and vo bars but open to negotiation if buyer wants to keep. Doubt the crate and flat bar setup would work as a combo so I guess depends if you want the crate?)

Not included!
rear rack and child seat

Bike can be viewed and tried out in E5. I bought the bike for a bargain price given the value of the rohloff alone and I don't want to make a profit, just not make a loss - asking for £850 ( + or - a little depending which parts you want bundled in/taken off)

price drop to £750 before it goes to the 'bay

If only this were about 5 inches bigger

@Maj your london lockup bike awaits

Lovely bike!

:D

I will throw in the big kryptonite D lock for anyone who is interested. lil' sweetener, literally locked and loaded, ready to ride

Last shout out to anyone that wants this at £700 before I list on the 'bay. New bike purchase in the family means this needs to go now to free up space

Hey @krj did you end up selling this?

I did yes. It's now gracing the hills of South London

Not surprised -- great looking bike, and a tasty price

Damn if anyone is selling something like this please let me know! I'm a buyer waiting!
