Here's a Bob Jackson on Craigslist here in Chicago, Maybe its your size and you can trade yours for it, otherwise the seller is selling it for a fair price?
"Amazing Bob Jackson road bike sporttouring campagnolo dura ace or frame only
This is an amazing road bike built by one of the greatest british frame builders of all time. This is a Bob Jackson road bike with a sport/touring style. The frame is built with all reynolds 531 tubing, campagnolo dropouts as well. The front fork has two sets of brazeons for fenders and a rack, the rear dropouts have one set of braze ons. It is a champagne color with red/maroon panels and head tube. The frame measures as follows: seat tube is 52 cm center to center, the top tube is 53 cm center to center. It is a lively and comfortable ride but still fast and ready to fly. This bike was built in 1980 but doesn't look like it all. It's in great shape and is built up with the best components. It has a campagnolo headset, shimano 600 brake calipers and levers, shimano 600 shifters, shimano 600 cranks, shimano dura ace front derailleur, and a suntour superbe pro rear derailleur. Or if you just want the frame and fork I'd take 250.00 for that. These frames sell for much more by themselves.
This bike is stunning, it's a collectors item, and it's one hell of a bike. You will not be disapointed. If you take care of this bike it will only increase in value. come by soon and I'm sure I can negotiate on the price. I'm asking 500.00 or best offer. Or again, 250.00 or best offer for the frame and fork. Unfortunately my girlfriend has my digital camera so I don't have any pics. ride this baby home today: 773 289 2775"
Seems like the seller really wants to sell it fast?!
Cheers!
