Woodrup also in Leeds. AFAIK Leeds was traditionally a centre of the UK cycling industry. Too bad about Bob Jackson not taking bespoke orders right now. They have some nice options.

Hi folks,
So my Bob Jackson frame arrived today for those of you interested. Hard to get proper photos of frame only.
Colour is celeste cosmos (looks a lot darker than I expected) and pearl white with gold lug lining. It's a beautifully made frame and paint job so I am a very happy man today. Will be bringing it to LBS in the coming days to get it built up

So with the sad news about Bob Jackson’s imminent closure, here are some photos of the build... have since put a lovely Halo Retro wheel set on the bike...
It rides like a dream is and is so comfortable. These photos are mostly from a 700km tour around Ireland

Cool photos and cool bike.
Not too swingy wingy with that high and heavy looking load.? Nice wide bars probably help, although strong head winds must be a bear.

Having a good experience on your first tour is great, traveling by bike is such a fun experience, hope you do more at some point.
