did you read the forum at all before joining?
I did read it yes, but I have just joined, nobody knows me. Would you act like this to a complete stranger on the street? My guess is that lots of people on here think they can say what they like and hide behind their computers.
anyway thats the end of it, I can't be arsed chatting about this any more im gonna go and have a wank over my Brooklyn as I just discovered Ive finished the polish ;-)

Very smart! Any info on the frame (year etc?)
According to the original build card it was made in November 1974 and delivered to a dealer in the US. No idea how it got home again. But Jackson sold a lot of bikes in the US.
It is made of Columbus PL which is quite light, 1845g for a standard build, frame design is called a Lugano Pursuit and the lugs are 'fancy'. The build card calls for the frame to be set up 'as I Hallam' - ie Ian Hallam, the Jackson-sponsored rider who competed in the '68, '72 and '76 Olympics and twice won a bronze medal.
It is as sharp as a surgeon's kife with the original track forks on, a bit more relaxed with the road forks.

There's a danger of too much colour coordination, it will end up in anti-porn. Stick with black saddle and tape and put some retro looking tyres on it and somebody will probably flick it over to the porn thread.

50 / 18,19 at the mo, first crack at riding a fixed so just getting used to it.
Frame is very light, Columbus PL (Pista Leggere), bought from a good seller on Retrobike. I have the original undrilled forks but quickly discovered I'm not ready for brakeless, yet.
My budget was ...
