So Woodrup are actually using the name? I was under the impression from talking to people who 'know' that the whole deal had fallen through. I wonder why you would order a BJ from them rather than a true Woodrup? Saying that, BJ also ran Merlin and JRJ alongside the BJ brand BITD. EB also had Favori. My Favori still has EB seat stay engraved tops though.
Apparently the new BJs are built in the Woodrup workshop, but most Woodrups built these days are modern styles (belt drive/rohloff/discs/gravel/etc), they're hoping to build more classic stuff (lugs/derailleurs/horizontal TT/touring/fixedgear/whatever) under the BJ name. They're custom, though - I think they'll build whatever you ask for!
To be fair in 2018 Bob Jackson turned around mine in just over a month. That was with custom fork crown and a few other bits.
No point winning work if you don't make money on it.
Great frame, great price. Won't be able to tell the difference in ride with any of the others like for like.My Bob Jackson 631 "Olympus" f&f was purchased off the peg (size 55cm c-t) for £500. 6 week turnaround (early September - mid October. This included any colour from their range (of about 90 colours) and a choice of lug lining and 5-6 colour choices for decals.
