  • is this worth the cash???
    just wanted peoples opinion who havea better eye for originality of frames and bits, did a search for olympic sprint dint find much.

    i know that Bob Jackson frames are quality builds but it almost seems too good 250 full vintage bike?

    £250 is alot of cash (for me) and would rather see the bike befor but im tempted

  • but £250 is only the starting bid..

    he expects to get a lot more

    of course, if no-one bids...

  • i guess so but normaly a bob jackson frame get some one sniping from the off.

  • yeah, i like!

    made in 1967 - probably the best year for music, ever! if no body bids, snipe that baby. i'd do maximum 350.

  • too much cash for me lpg by get ya sniper rifle at the ready!

  • you guys got auction sniper?

    it works a treat

  • never really used a snipe tool but gonna get one as i have missed too many things that i wanted which went at a low price becasue i got sniped, pissed me off at the time but then i just thoughtget ya self one you tool! instead of getting vex! nearly 75 - 80% of ebay stuff is won with snipe stuff.

  • lol

  • i tried to shoot you in your eye but you moved!!! quality

  • it's a shame it's such a shit listing. i bet it's some 50 y.o ex-road racer.

    it's got some nice parts on it. It should go for £250.

  • I predict it'll sell for 450. Based on no Scientific thought (its a guess).

    It's a pretty unique frame. Track with dérailleur hanger?

  • Are you gonna keep the gears on it?

    It'd be a shame to take them off and bastardise it.

  • I won the bike at 250! i only bid half expecting it to shoot up in the last few mins..but no one else bid so i got a bob jackson frame......Tallsam hmmmmm i m not sure, i think i may go fixed on it but i wont hack up the frame, ill keep the brasings and hanger ect, going to pick it up on tuesday i hope, ill see how i feel. would be nice to have nice road bike too.. glad i got it.
