Bob Jackson Touring Bike – Classic British Steel, Ideal Restoration Base

This is a Bob Jackson touring road bike built from Reynolds 531 Competition tubing — a frame material renowned for its strength, comfort, and timeless ride quality. At 54cm, it’s a great size for many riders and a solid base for a classic road or light touring rebuild.

The bike is fitted with a full Shimano 105 2×8 groupset, a proven and much-loved setup from the era, along with a Brooks B17 leather saddle, which alone holds strong value and is highly sought after by touring and classic bike enthusiasts.

Wheel-wise, it’s running a Mavic rear rim and Wolber front rim, both well-regarded names in traditional road and touring circles.

This bike is being sold as a project and will require TLC and recommissioning before it’s ready to ride. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys fettling, restoring classic steel, or building up a dependable long-distance bike with real character.

• Reynolds 531 Competition steel frame – classic ride feel, highly regarded
