For Sale:
My lovely Bob Jackson build, I haven't used this bike since November and it's unlikely I will... But I'm not desperate to sell so I'm asking for offers - sensible ones will be considered.
This is an incredibly nice riding bike, super stiff for steel but so comfortable too, I've ridden a lot of bikes with a similar build with different frame materials and this truly is a wonder to ride. It's also very light, steel frame, aluminium wheels - still under 7kg.
Specification:
-Bob Jackson Olympus 631 frame, 54x54
-Columbus minimal? forks
-Chris King Gold headset - the carbon bung is a carbon ti one.
-Wheels: Campagnolo Shamal's - these are the 2008 spec hubs and spokes, I rebuilt them onto new (2019) rims, this was with new nipples and new bearings where needed, they spin beautifully, the rims literally have no wear on at all. Tyres are the lovely Specialized s-works Turbo cottons in 26mm.
-Brakes: Sram Red aerolink.
-Drivetrain: FSA SL-k Light chainset(50-34), campag chorus chain, campag chorus 11-29 cassette, record 11s FD and RD.
-Record 11s shifters
-Profile Bars 40cm
-Deda Superleggero seatpost
-Ergon carbon mens saddle (med)
-Stem - I have multiple lengths to suit you.
-Lizard skin bar tape.
No pedals or bottle cages.Any questions please ask.
Preferable collection from SE London, New Cross or Lee.

For Sale:
Open to offers on everything. Need it all gone. Take it away!
Based in SE London near New Cross.£450 ono. Genesis Day One prototype fixie - tt 57cm x st 54cm c-c - the frame is a prototype Genesis Day One when Genesis decided to beef up the flyer and stick some canti/v bosses on it...They did 3. This is one of them. Had some bits done to the frame - various mounts chopped off (including rear brake spigots), one bottle cage mount remains... The dropouts squeezed down to 120mm and then added a built in seat collar. Took the paint off and let it rust.... then clear coated with spray lacquer, it could probably do with a new coat by now. Frame tubing is Reynolds 520
Pretty sure the gearing is 48 x 17 - not 100%.
It hasn't been ridden much to be honest and rides so so so smooth. Take it for a ride. Its basically the perfect London bike - looks tatty but rides great.
Specs:
Fork - genesis steel powder coated in sparkly pink.
Front wheel - unbranded polished double wall rim laced to campagnolo record track hub.
Rear wheel - dia compe gran comp track hub laced to halo aero rage.
Front brake - that really good Shimano LX v brake with an avid speed dial lever and fancy Kool stop pads.
Headset - cane creek.
Finishing kit - a mix of lightweight black aluminium stuff. Turbo saddle. DMR death grips.
Crankset - Campagnolo centaur (I think) arms with a TA chainring and a real nice campag chorus ST bottom bracket.
Chain - some no stretch gusset thing.
Cog - halo and dura ace locking.
Tyres - gator skin and ultremo DD.£600 ono. Bamboo Bikes Bamboo Mountain Bike - st 17 inch x tt 21.5 inch c-c - frame is very unique! One of a kind, built in Gloucestershire. A proper XC bike. Seatpost might need a bit off effort to get out but have had moving recently - seems a bit stuck again. Rides well. All serviced and up together. Forks work well.
Fork - Fox Float 32.
Wheels - *26 inch!!!*dt Swiss rims laced to Deore XT hubs.
Drivetrain - Shimano XT 3 x 10 speed. All brand new... Cass, rings, chain.
Brakes - some pretty good Avid Elixirs... not cheap ones. New pads on rear and both bled.
Tyres - conti of some description. Will happily throw in the new Nobby nice as photographed.
Finishing kit - mix of nothing special but functional black aluminium stuff. (deda stem not included).SOLD. Argon 18 Gallium frame tt 57cm x st 54cm c-c - I spray painted the frame and stem not that well and it has had paint chips appear in storage. Cheap. Comes with everything photographed. Bargain.
None of the above comes with pedals... Pedals are precious.
Any questions just ask.
The quicker they're gone - the cheaper I'll let them go for.
