Re: I thought it could possibly be english masqurading as Italian too. BB is english thread. Unusual how little info there is out there on this brand

Hi All, Picked the below bike up locally from ebay for £22 (seemed a bargain, even with limited info). Groupset is full 105, with downtube indexed shifters and is in really great condition. However i cant seem to find out much about the frame itself....it seems to be of good construction...

Re: Based in North Yorkshire

Hi All, After a beater bike i can lock up outside the gym. Something mechanically sound - not too fussed on the cosmetic side of things. Ideally under £100. Smallish frame - 21inch or 50/52cm let me know if you've anything suitable cheers, Glen

Stunning

Bob Jackson sourced and applied the decals. The respray came in around £200, none of the lugs/stays were rechromed, but they did pick out the colnago logos on them. Second frame i've had done at BJ's and service/end result has been excellent on both occasions.

Re: Finished. Rides like a dream and if i do say so myself is rather handsome.

Re: Quick update for those interested, frame respray by Bob Jackson and forks re-chromed by a local company in leeds

Hi Richard, Lovely find! My dad and I restored a Bob Jackson last year. We emailed Donald who runs the workshop there with the serial number and he was able to provide year of build as well as the original build sheet. hope that helps, Glen

The deltas on this one, i believe, are first generation, its my understanding Campag went on to improve them over the years

I also attended my first Eroica this year and had a great weekend. My dad, brother and I rode the 25 miler, however next year will do the 55. I was impressed with the campsites/facilities and food on offer. Some stunning bikes on show too!

Thanks Keith - i think the Deltas will be traded in, they look great but as you say, dont actually stop you very well

Thanks chaps! Took it for the obligatory sprint up the cul-de-sac before stripping it and absolutely love the feel of it. Will keep updated. Glen

Hi All, Thanks once again for the kind advice. I picked the bike up this evening for £800, which i was happy to pay. Frame seems to be in good condition, chrome is in relatively good condition aside from a few marks which is expected with ages. Attached a few more pictures below. Stripped most...

Thanks KingBling and Tony, very helpful info!
