I need 23.8 band size for standard road bars.. These look like mtb bars and oversize road bars only ? :(

Never noticed those :)

Seems I have another Bob Jackson on the way .. Looks rough but hopefully saved it in time ? Will know soon enough !

Looks like the standard ml to me .. The tall version has an elongated head tube above the top tube it looks awful !! Imo :)

Nice bit of kit !!!

Integrated saddle/post ? Or shadow ?

Probably been through around 20 bikes in last 7 years ;)

Fork broken in frontal impact ? Kink in downtube and you've no takers ??

Wonder why ?

Two riding buddies of mine had same frame ... There's had same carbon weave finish .. The standard tcr carbon frames were painted ...

Uk is within Western Europe ...

You have pm ...

Sure that groupset is 8 speed ? 9 speed was octalink ...

F**k me !!!!

New underwear riding those ;)

Never ridden with such a short stem/narrow bar combo(on road) ... It's a very direct and sharp ride...

Perfect for my intended use

Turbomatic looks awful will hold out for a rolls ..

Nice !!!!!

In the spirit of using what I have to whittle down spares box I've fitted these grips/collars .. Overkill ? Have plain black non lock on grips that may look better..

Have a turbo matic saddle or a 90's flite but a rolls may look better ?

Thoughts/flaming welcome ;)

Bob Jackson confirmed it is a Grand Prix Messina .. Ordered September 77 .. Brakes are later dia compe blaze ? Low end brakes dated 89 they look normal reach so maybe frame/fork was 700c ?

Most of the parts are low rent I suspect it was kept running rather than upgrade as stuff wore out .. Rear wheel is a lowly rx100 hub on a very crusty mavic rim(salt covered corrosion on eyelets) frame really is in excellent condition so suspect wheel was chucked on to get bike rolling..

The chap I bought from bought it 94 and it's not seen much use since :) Hence the stunning condition of frame ..

Nice bits are headset(possibly record ? ) chainset gran sport/record ? Campagnolo seatpost(chorus ? )Again not sure .. Nice hope titanium front hub on nice condition mavic sup rim ..

Have a few geared bikes and this will replace my current fixed wheel kona as I'm hankering for a vintage cruiser ..

Got nice set of new but old looking polished wheels on way and a lovely old 70's GB stem to go on ..

Love to see yours Brickman ...

Picked this up recently ... Has a fair mish mash of bits on there but it was the gorgeous looking frame I was after :)

Advertised as early 90's but I reckoned it was earlier.. Confirmed as 78 .. On collection I noticed the fork had a rattle can paint job unlike the slick finish on frame .. .. Closer inspection revealed some shiny chrome beneath(was hoping paint was a fashion thing over damaged chrome :( !!

After strip and clean

Got some nice new(old look wheels coming) .. Plan is to build as a run about town/errand bike

I'll have it if still available ?

Did the frame have a stuck seatpost ? Just that the white into green looks bit home made ?
