For Sale: Bob Jackson 1980's tourer, modified to road bike

Bob Jackson touring frame[21 inch] made road worthy with new chain set, gears, rear wheel, chain, block, etc. Beautiful to ride. Frame has been painted so not original colour. Can supply the old rear wheel and downtube gear levers, the front wheel is the original - Campag hub. New Mavic rear wheel. Shimano Soro Flight Deck brake levers/gear change, Soro front changer, Tiagra rear mech. Bike has not been restored as it would have been but I have made it a fine bike for the road. Ample room for mudguards. Would suit the enthusiast who has a genuine interest in hand-made frames from a well-known family cycling business.
It is a joy to ride giving a really positive experience. Can supply a Brookes saddle[B17] for a supplement!!
Need to sell as I have too many bikes collected over the past 50 years.
£700

Hi nobby, I'll break this to you gently, before others might not be as nice...you won't get £700 for that on here. Nowhere near.

Good luck moving it on, but you will have to drastically reduce the price....IMHO of course.

Half the price if you want a sale, or split it for more wonga

£700 is too steep, also for E-bay. Play it right and you may get near £350-£450 there. -15% fees of course... :(

Market it as an audax/light tourer, try CTC too if you have no joy here.

You're also likely to get more money if you didn't make an account, do the 3 obligatory posts here and there, and promptly attempt to offload all your shit.

Have you had a look at what £700 buys?

Was that really necessary?

Both unnecessary and impenetrable. What does it mean, "didn't make an account"? What are "3 obligatory posts"?
