A friend of mine is now in his 80's and still has his almost new 55 cm (I think) Bob Jackson touring bike with Bruce Gordon racks and just about everything you need on a touring bike. It is in pretty much pristine condition and only has a couple of California Alps tours on it.
I'm not sure of the year of the frame (yellow and green two-tone as I recall) since I can't recall if it was ordered in '96 or so or was an older frame that Dennis Stone had in his shop. No matter since the new bikes are still pretty much the same.
I told him that I believed the bike to be worth about $1500. Would people be interested in it for that price? He wants someone that's going to use it for touring to get it because it was a present to him from a very good friend who wanted him to be able to tour on it. He succeeded but then caught Encephalitis which crippled him and he can no longer ride.
