Bikes: '72 Bob Jackson; '82 Austro-Daimler Starleicht; '85 Scapin; '80 Peugeot PKN-10; '81 Trek 610; '87 Hunter Corsa; '72 Italvega and '75 Motobecane Grand Jubillee frames built into freewheel singlespeeds.

Second comment ... lots of these Brit frames were sold either mail order, or through American LBS's as bare frames, so you see a lot of variability in how they're built up. Standard for a Jackson or Woodrup (or Witcomb or Claud Butler or Holdsworth or ...) in the early '70's was all-Campy NR; about 1980 you start to see Shimano, particularly Dura-Ace, and Suntour, either Cyclone or Superbe. The downscale parts on this one suggest to me that you're seeing stuff that was put on there after the original build.

And +1 on some stuff which unworthy1 said; Doug Fattic is one of the guys who posts a lot on bikelist.org, so if you post a question about your frame there, you might get a response from him, as well as some others who have a lot of firsthand knowledge about the marque.
