i really like this build allot, even with the trispoke. ties in nicely with the black saddle. what i dont like (visually) is the rear wheel. having not so deep rear rim with massive thick trispoke makes the bike look front heavy. this bike needs something baller like a campy pista black rear…or like a silver campy atlanta rear…those are like 38mm deep, would look nice. some black grips or tape and it would be finished and a 10 in my book. gotta love that frame. i think the barber pole is sick, especially with the white lug outlining. i was almost going to order a bob jackson one time when looking to build a track bike but a crazy deal on something else popped up that i couldn’t pass on. anywho i like this bike allot, but could be closer to perfect.
Nice cranks. Wish I could afford Record stuff. The frame is a Jackson, but its rather swamp donkey if you ask me. Rims dont match. No tape. Miche seatpost isn’t doin it either. Top Ten . . . really? Standard seem to have dropped around here. What happened to Wu Tang Sword? That was way better.

The barbers pole seat tube is a signature English scheme.

Front wheel, seatpost, and candy cane striping need to go. Add some tape. Then we’ll talk about top ten.

The barber’s pole is a British culture thing. Shame to ruin a Bob Jackson with that front wheel and seatpost.
