Sold 2006 Specialized TT Transition - Renovated by Bob Jackson

Joe*Pro

Senior Retro Guru
So I bought this circa 2015 when I discovered Strava and wanted to improve my lap times. It has served me well for a few summers, no winter rides I can remember, got me to top 3% fastest times, but the addiction is now over and I need to free up space in the garage.

I suspect the Bob Jackson renovation was just the re spray white, which I much prefer to the original stock colours.

offering it here before then the eBay vultures In a week or so.

Spec:
See photos
lovely HED wing bars
durace ace rear, ultegra front deraillers
carbon cranks & large 54 oval ring.
kysirum wheels with Mavic hubs and blade spokes.
front fork is a carbon Easton 70 off memory.
weights just 17.0lbs without pedals.

could do with a proper TT saddle.

will happily box/post if you are happy to take the risk.

Not sure what it’s worth today, asking £600 via Paypall

Who‘s Bob Jackson in case you weren’t sure:

Bob Jackson, J.R. (John Robert) Jackson, first opened shop in Leeds in 1935 as J.R.J. Cycles using money borrowed from his mother. He built bikes until WWII when all production had to be put on hold while Jackson served in the Royal Air Force. After the war, he restarted his bike-building business in full force, and in 1955 was able to purchase the historic British Merlin brand to begin producing Merlin frames in parallel with his J.R.J. frames.

By the 1960s the company’s reputation as a quality builder of lightweight road and track frames had grown both in Britain and the U.S., and Jackson was handling production for multiple other bicycle brands as well. Eventually, a name change took place, and J.R.J. was dropped in favor of the more colloquial Bob Jackson moniker, and Bob Jackson Cycles continues to build frames under that name today even though Jackson passed away in 1999.
