Bought a lovely Bob Jackson frame last year but never checked the wheel size it was built for. Finally got round to starting to build it and doh! it's for 26" wheels. I've since built up a 700c tourer as this is what I'd got parts for, so this is surplus to requirements.
It's a custom build Reynolds 531ST (super tourist) frame from the early 2000s I believe. 531ST is heavier guage, making for a stiff frame that's less prone to flexing and twisting when fully loaded up with luggage. This is basically built for heavy duty touring.
Braze-ons are a slightly peculiar combination in that it's only got one set of bottle cage mounts and while it does have front rack mounts on the fork drop-outs, it doesn't have low-rider bosses on the fork legs. However, I bought clamp on sets for both of these which I'll happily include if the buyer would like. The downtube cable stops are simply stops, so if using with bar-end, STIs or ergopower shifters you'll need these barrel adjusters: http://www.spacycles.co.uk/products.php?show=1716&z=1849, or if you build it with flat bars and shifters, no need. Otherwise, it's got all normal mudguard and rack, canti/v-brake mounts and threaded rear brake cable stop (nice and easy for a barrel adjuster).
Paint is in largely great nick, with nice gold lug-lining, with a few usual knocks and some heavier scrapes around where you'd mount the front mech and under the BB, which I've tried to picture. All threads look nice and crisp.
