• Don't Know who owns the Jackson above, But IMHO it's not quite as sweet as mine.
    VB got it about right in his earlier post.
    Vinz, my BJ is probably the best bike I've ever ridden, built for me 20 odd years ago (admittedly by someone who probably no longer works there). It was the Bike I wanted then, and if I were thinking about having another frame built now, then Jackson would certainly be near the top of my list of builders.
    I think there are probably more than 5 BJ owners on here, Ben's problems were never about the build quality.
    So Vinz, as vb said, start a poll and I'll be happy to vote.

    My old Lotus Beater Bike was built in the mid 80's. It rode beautifully and had no discernible faults so emphasizing that your bike has lasted 20 odd years is irrelevant. Any mass produced steel frame (Edit: in the same price bracket) will probably do the same.

    Nimhbus got my point. Its not that I dispute that Bob Jackson has made some beautiful frames. My issue is that they should not be praised for fixing a problem that is obviously a product of their own poor workmanship (Edit:In this case).
