Bob Jackson - Curved Seat Tube

This has been residing in my shed for quite some time now. A Bob Jackson Time Trial frame, with a curved seat tube.

I’m hoping to find a bit of time today to start building it up.

Niiiice

I was going to replace the original headset, but after a bit of a clean and re-grease, it’s come up quite nice.

This looks great - what size is it?

Cinelli Bars, Modolo Levers.

Hoods were perished, so have added Cane Creek replacements.

There is a ton of tape residue on the bars, so I look forward to getting ‘off my tits’ on solvent.

Thanks. Seat Tube is 58cm, Top Tube is 55.5cm (both ctc).

Starting to look like a bike now.

Wheels are NOS Ofmega Hubs on Kinlin ADHN rims.

I built these last year for this frame, and rode them on a different bike at L’eroica.

Would appear that I forgot to true them, so they’ll be coming off.

Also, clearances at the rear are a bit too tight for 28’s, do I’ll be shopping for some skinny gumwalls later.

Great frame!

Modolo Professional callipers.

Gave them a quick clean up. Really need to spend a bit more time on them.

Lovely mate, glad to see you’ve still got impeccable taste...!

I always loved modolo bits. I had some brakes for a birthday present when I was a kid in the CTC and thought they were like jewellery compared to the weinmanns and stronglights kicking round at the time.

Thanks, I aim to please ;)

Your dog's been busy with the solvent then...

Yeah too bad about the dog but the bike's coming along nicely.

The dog's fine - currently trying to nick my dinner!

Veg oil works great on tape residue. Technically it is a solvent (maybe?). Anyway it works.

Will give it a go, thanks.

Lovely dog!
