Excerpted some info below that appeared on the roadbikereview.com site: Angel Garcia Verona, Italy

".... when I visited Bob Jackson's last year they told me that they're flat out building frames with a total staff of around 20 and shipping around 75% of their output 'over here' to the US. I didn't ask how many frames they make in whatever, but folk in the US buy them for sure.

They have no advertising here I've seen - I knew about them as I rode one 3 0 years ago - and one US agent - World Class Cycles in NY, who doesn't advertise much either!

Oddly enough, not far from BJ's is Woodrup Cycles, taken over by the son after Maurice W died, still operating as essentially a one-man show buildin g frames and running a bike shop."
