I was a BJ owner, sold it about 10 years ago.
It was a Messina model.
I had to have it repainted and found that the chrome on the forks and stays were done so poorly that it couldn't be saved. The frame was eventually repainted with only chrome on the dropouts.

I have heard that Bob has passed away.
His frames are still seen, but are now being built under a conglomerate partnership.
I believe it's the same group that does Holdsworth.
