It's a great bike. I've had several during my lifetime but this is the best.
Thank you!
that would be Harold Jackson.
his wife was the apartment manager when I returned from the exile of the San Fernando Valley. We might have received the nod to rent the apartment (Mom’s income was marginal) as I saw the BobJackson bike in the living room and I made comment I had a Jackson track bike and won a number of races on it. Learned Harold was Bob’s son.
