Someone on here probably just sold this to me.
Oh, sure, try to trump me pretty British Ron Cooper with a pretty British Bob Jackson. Just be that way.

But seriously, that's a great loking frame. My first significant purchase with my first paycheck from my first job out of high school was a brand new Bob Jackson frame. Red it was, with a white head tube and a white panel on the seat tube, block letter (insteadt of the slanted letters, as yours has) and chrome fork ends and stay ends. I bought in 1975 it from Stones Cyclery in Alameda (still there, still dealing in really nice stuff) for the then-lordly sum of $170. Somebody stole it out of my garage not quite 20 years later. I still miss it . . . .
