What is this Bob Jackson worth?
Assuming this 1980 BJ is in good mechanical, cosmetic and riding condition, what would you estimate it's worth?

It will be worth more without the foam grips, extension levers, rearview mirror and reflectors.
Do that, add some Gum brake hoods and cloth bar tape and $650 ish.
Its size knocks some value off.
Bob Jackson has had a variable reputation over the decades. This appears just after the dark period, but its close. For a while, the bottom bracket shells almost w/o exception were distorted, it was re-tap the shell, check the shell faces, and when it was evident that over 1 mm per side was needed to get a square face, install a Phil Wood bottom bracket.
In a conversation with Bob Jackson about this in 1975, he admitted that some of the lad's were a bit heavy in clamping the shell in the bench vise.

) fixed the problem with a Phil Wood BB, beaucoup Loc-Tite, and God only knows what refacing. It worked fine until the bike was stolen 15 or so years later. But it is clear that mine was not an isolated incident. Otherwise, it was a great frame, and I still mutter dark curses on the thief who took it out of my garage, even though that was almost 20 years ago now.

Good to learn a little about the dark ages, good to know, thanks.
I assume the OP is the seller.
I've got nothing to add so I'll shut up now.
