Bob: My guess with a bit of knowledge is that this bike is Bob Jackson built bike from 1980. My information is from Hilary's writing.. maybe he can chime in here! As to model name, I have no idea and things got a little sloppy in the model designation area after the 1970s. If it had fastback stays and (sometimes) oval fork blades it carried the "Italianate" designation but could still be a certain model lugs.. i.e., own of mine is a "Experto Crede" lug set with "Italianate" stays and forks!
