  • The customer designed the paint based on an old Bob Jackson jersey of his, this was what we worked from.

  • Well you’ve dropped a bollock there because they’ve put track ends on the drawing and you’ve built them a beautiful geared bike instead ;)

    As for my 2p to what people might want it feels like there’s definitely a market for UK made steel road/gravel/touring/adventure bike with decent tyre clearance, rack and guard mounts etc. and lugged would definitely be a bonus. If you’re buying a uk made steel bike, a heritage aesthetic would fit the bill IMO.

    You mention Surly, Brother, Crust and Thorn.
    To me Bob Jackson is separate from all of those.
    Surly is a bit boring, and American. They’re great bikes but a bit uninspiring. Crust are more interesting but American, brother are great but they’re Taiwan made. Thorn are great, but they’re not the most beautiful.

    If I wanted a UK made frame, a nice lugged gravel bike of sorts, BJ would fit that remit perfectly.

  • all that blue & yellow looks well Leeds United!
