Isn't 753 off-topic for CR? Or was it introduced earlier than I thought?
Nothing is off-topic when those guys want to have a fight! But seriously, their cut-off date is '83 and even if it's built later they give special dispensation for "KOF" Keeper of the Flame bikes and builders. The doubters said that the label didn't necessarily tell the truth, but I'm inclined to believe that Reynolds was mostly reliable about their products...So, now the important questions: is your 753 bike "stiff" or "whippy"? And did the OP ever get one of those Bob Jacksons?
