Bob Jackson Super Tourist
SOLD. Offering a Bob Jackson Super Tourist. 21.5in TT, 20.5in ST. Frame is full 531 in VG/Excellent condition. Guessing it was made sometime from '74-'76, if you know how to confirm LMK. Recently converted to 650b (Campy record hubs with velocity rims, new PariMoto tires, Tektro long reach brakes). Otherwise original equipment Huret derailleurs, Campagnolo shifters and cables, Avocet seat post and pedals, Sugino AT crank, Nitto Grand Rando bars, stainless fenders, Blackburn racks, Ciussi cage, cloth tape with used champagne corks included. Includes the Brooks pro and set of period correct matching blue bags (some wear on those) with full priced sale. Cat not included, but will entertain offers.
Here's the rub... I do not want to ship this, so buyer could either pick up in St Paul MN, or if already paid (full priced sale), I could meet in Madison or Milwaukee Wi on certain fall weekends. If you arrange shipping can drop off anywhere in the Twin Cities if already paid. This bike was shown recently at the Coppi hundredth celebration, so if you're seeking some confirmation on condition we may find others to chime in with opinions...
Desperately wanted this to fit me, but I ride a 57cm/22.5 normally. Stem just below limit on photos...
Sold, transaction must be completely settled for possession.

Cool bike. You brought this to Coppi, right? What's the size? I think it's too small for me and I'm hoping it's not my size,

Wow, perfect size for me, but out of my price range. Beautiful bike!

I've seen this in person and Doc is right, it's gorgeous.
I wish I could afford another bike right now.
Mrs. Gomango would look great on this one, that's for sure.

Great looking bike. I'd be interested in buying it if I didn't already own three touring bikes.
