Hi all,
i have an interesting Bob Jackson frame for sale.
so its a late 70s Road frame with vertical dropouts in an insane neon-pink colour.
size is 57x58 ctc, 100mm front x 120mm rear, was told its double butted 531, cant confirm this myself but takes 27.2mm seatpins so cant be crap tubing.
its a nice frame. the color is just mad. its that sort of burn your eyes out neon pink, but has been faded on top facing areas so its got this washed out look. its something that could be regarded as porn to some and extreme anti to others. I personally quite liked it.
has bits of pain loss here and there, tiny surface rust patches. would benefit from a repaint but i dont think its necessary.
the interesting/tricky bit is that its got a stripped BB shell.
with a freewheel setup threadless BBs or even Blue locktite might do the job, but if youre going to run this fixed the shell needs to be re tapped.
it can be set up as fixed, there is a magic gear, which i had it running on. somewhere in the region of 47x17 or 18 or something of that sort.
this should cost you some money. rough guess = 50?
keep that in mind, and here goes some pics.
clearances with 700c, bear in mind no tyres.
