Bob Jackson Custom Special Tourer 58cm

Post by CRL »

Reynolds 631 tubing with 725 rear stays. Tailored to my build at their Leeds shop, I am 6ft 1.5inches tall (187cms) and suits me perfectly. Originally bought for an 'End to End' trip in 2005, performing beautifully with heavy loads in front and rear panniers plus tent. Well maintained but rarely used since, kept off the floor garaged and untouched for the last ten years due to medical difficulties. Selling regretfully as I now need the space, so would like this bike to find a new home. It comes with several unopened brand new spares (chain rings, hub bearings, bottom bracket, chainset, pedals etc, see pics) once bought in preparation for trans-continental trips that sadly never materialised.

spec: Special Tourist 631/725, arrowhead lugs. Chromed fork blades and chain stays. Plate for dynamo, a range of brazed on lugs for racks, bottles, mudguards etc.
Headset Shimano XT
Stem Synthesis
Bars Morphe silver
Saddle Brooks B17 Titanium
Pedals MKS GR9
BB and Chainset Shimano XT
Front Mech Ultegra triple 12-32
Rear Mech XT
Levers Ultegra STI
Front and rear hubs Hope Mono (steel freehub body)
Rims Mavic A719
Racks both stainless steel, front Tubus Duo low rider; rear Cosmo
Dynamo B&M S6
Pletscher/ESGE twin-leg prop stand

Any questions please feel free to message me. It's a good classic-looking bike. See entry on Gumtree for various pics including spares. Buyer collects from North Hampshire.

Good morning.
Are you the chap who I met on the Farnham - Well road while I was out riding my velomobile recently.
If so I am glad you followed my advice regarding the CTC website
I hope the selling process was pain free.
Remember you can get rid of spares, clothing etc as well
Bye
Mark
