I've actualy seen my Bob Jackson in the flesh now (see my original post here http://www.londonfgss.com/thread6261-248.html#post797992)
I had to get the forks strightened, which Barron cycles did for me. The Mavic stickers are off and it looks a lot better.
The rims (see the original pics) are Mavic Open 4 CD's which will be staying. I have a pair of Shimano 105 aero pedals coming with some original toe clips - I got those from the (great) tour de ville in Hackney.
On closer inspection the frame and forks have quite a bit of damage to the paintwork and the chrome. Its a tricky balance between restoration and keeping the character but I' ve decided to get it re-sprayed at Bob Jackson, because I want it to be protected and to last, but their brief will be too reproduce the current colourway and transfers as closely as they can manage, as I have warmed to the colour now and think it is fairly unusual looking.
Anyway you can see some shots here: http://picasaweb.google.com/jamesparker262/BobJackson?feat=directlink
