Fanny's yer aunt, Bob Jackson's yer uncle: bike rescue again.
This time I took before pictures:
As it was loaded into my truck:
30 seconds after it was unloaded:
Nice semi-wraparound seat stay treatment.
First generation Phil Wood hubs:
Over BB cable routing, single water bottle bosses, rear spaced 120mm, and no chain hanger; I'm thinking very late 70's/very early 80's.

Wow, that's going to be a nice one!
How does such a nice bike end up with Bum bars?
Have fun with the overhaul.

Close to first gen Phil hubs, chrome, check, but after he went to straight barrels, the early ones had a small fillet at each flange. These were much faster to produce.
Suggest remove the Bottom bracket completely and examine the cup races (assuming traditional assembly) Jackson’s were notorious for having shells that were distorted requiring Campagnolo tools to chase and face.

in a conversation the next year with Bob Jackson as he was visiting dealers, he admitted “the lads” probably cranked the vise too tight on the lower half of the shell.
we discussed a new pair of bikes and he wrote on his card that he would supply an upgraded Roto investment cast shell for free.
I never ordered those, instead ordered a Masi sprint bike frame. Columbus PS tubing. Still have that.

>>> "30 seconds after it was unloaded:" <<<
LMAO. I probably would've had to do that before loading it into the car!
Thank you for saving another Bob Jackson.

And I thought I was your Uncle. 
At least in the freewheel department.
Needs a nice Ultra spaced Suntour Perfect 6-speed.

Funny this should come up, and sorry to go off topic on the thread, but I just built up a Uniglide freehub with a 15-17-19-21-23-26-30 to try. Now back to that beautiful Bob Jackson content. It is in my size too. I keep an eye out for special bikes like this and would indeed jump on that one quickly too. Being old and slow, it is sport touring bikes for me and really nice ones like this don’t come up as often as sport bikes. Nice score.

My bad. Let me take a look at my Winner family to see if I can build a 13-26. Might need to wait until after Thanksgiving.

Classic Bob Jackson. I couldn't stop smiling as I drooled over your bike's photos.
