Bob jackson bikes review. Cycles using money borrowed from his mother. He built bikes until wwii when all production had to be put on hold while jackson served in the royal air force. After the war he restarted his bike building business in full force and in 1955 was able to purchase. We are working round the clock to be able to re start normal service.

Does the bob jackson company keep records of serial numbers for their frames. 300 is a lot of money and i guess 853 is an upgrade over the 631os. Bob jackson reynolds 753 road bike. Bob jackson cycles crafted frame building since 1935 due to the very high influx of work we can no longer take any re spray chrome plating or frame alteration until further notice.

It is a rare bob jackson off road model in reynolds 501 lugged steel in a cool minty green color. Be the first to review this product. I have two bj s vigorelli fixed and a audax end to end built with 105 both are great bikes. There is lots of discussion of the best type of bike for commuting for me its my do everything bob jackson world tour very much a traditional touring frame it can take 28 32mm tyres with mudguards for which it has proper mounts canti brakes three bottle mounts reynolds 631 steel frame longish chainstays and slightly more relaxed geometry than a typical road bike.

Our classy bob jackson 753 is equipped with a campagnolo shifting and a number of other components which make this bike eroica eligible. Right up there with bridgestone and schwinn. Worldwide shipping secure payment. Bob jackson olympus road fillet brazed in 853 is about 629 actually the mercian is more if you spec vertical dropouts.

In very good condition with some wear to insides of chainstays. If the headtube steerer is indeed a 1 1 8 threadless design then the bike cannot be dated as early 80s unless it has been modified since then. I can highly recommend them call in and speak to paul kirk. It s been in business in one form or another since the 1930s fulfilling all the locals cycling needs and generally doing an admirable job of keeping money out of the pockets of the huge chains that increasingly dominate this sort of trade.
