i just built a bob jackson today, it's a 1950s, early, judging by the headclip. i think it looks grand, and, according to barrie witcomb (who tells all sorts of stories every time i phone to see if my holdsworth is ready) some fixed/path frames were produced with horizontal dropouts in order to make the mudguard/puncture issue easier.
i haven't finished it, i'll change the seatpost to an alloy and put a brooks on, and also change the chainring to something bigger and track specific (and change the rear cog, currently running 44:15, or 75ish).
as for cost, and i know i've cross-posted this, but it makes me laugh, it was £70 off the bay.
