Holy poop, that's tempting. My first truly good bike was a Bob Jackson of similar vintage (red in all the places yours is green and and white in all the places yours is white) that I built up with the kind of eclectic collection of parts that only a desperate teenager with limited funds can dream up. Some anus cookie stole it out of my garage c.1994 - I still wish horrible things on him (almost certainly a "him.").
So, somebody please buy this before my nostalgia overwhelms my better judgment and lack of storage space. Consider this a free bump, VRJAKE. Kind of doing us both a favor.

Gorgeous bicycle. If it was a tad smaller I'd buy it in a New York minute.

Technically not my size, but I could ride it. I am happy with the two I have. Good luck with the sale.
And green is my favorite color.

I'd have pulled the trigger were it not several sizes too large for me.

We've had a few inquires but no commitment yet. Bumping to emphasize that if a buyer doesn't want the complete bike, willing to deal for just frame or frame plus some components. If just a frame, we'll find a box and do the packing for no charge, but buyer is still responsible for arranging shipping.

I hope you're buying it and putting a fair number of us out of our collective misery.
