Bob Jackson 1991

[Plus one]

I have a problem as most of us here do !!! I've no room for any more bikes/projects but can't resist when something pops up fairly local

Picked this up few months back and plan was to strip/stabilise any rust/paint issues and clean all parts up and re-use what I could ..

Bike was used as a winter workhorse and boy it showed !!!

Paint really was bad and I'm a lover of original paint but the more I scraped/sanded it was obvious :facepalm:

So I stripped and had frame dipped/glass media blasted .. And pleasantly surprised as only issue was wee bit of pitting here and there

Getting frame fork re-painted and should get back soon ..

Here's pic as collected(rubbish pic) I should have taken some close ups it really was dog rough !!!

To save on sourcing even more parts and simplicity I fancy another fixed wheel build

Hi Jamie

Nothing flash just a single colour frame/fork(metallic green) with "Bob Jackson " on downtube nothing else .. Keep costs down and minimalist look

All the parts I'm putting back on are used and not mint but I've enough garage queens :roll:

It will be a good functional runabout I hope

Cheers .. Painter commented how nice construction was as they can be quite rough under paint !!

So Shand are doing the paint Col? If so it should be stunning.
I'd be interested in what it's costing to do. PM me if you prefer.

I'm sure you will do it justice so looking forward to seeing the results.

I'm using most of the kit from original bike so some of it has good patina/worn look !!

Recycle to cycle

No surprise given the painter it looks fantastic.

You still going fixed with it?
