My First build 1981 Robinson
BADDH:
Hi Guys,
Go easy on me this is my first build and I thought to share some pictures with you. I would like to thank a few Friends for helping me out along the way :daumenhoch: (you know who you are)
This is a 1981 Robinson which has been owned from new by a good friend of mine, I think I was very fortunate to get to own this bike and thank him for that very much :daumenhoch:
The bike had been complete at some point albeit over the 20 years this has been in storage a lot of the parts were taken from it and no doubt used on other bikes along the way, the bike was raced quite often by the owner so as expected are a few battle scars here but I am really pleased with the outcome.
I have very recently changed the bars to something very similar in shape to the Robinson Pro, the Grips to Black AME rounds and also changed to a straight seat post, next will be the chain ring to be replaced with a black 44 T .
This Robinson was always intended to mirror the Robinson Pro I raced back in the early 80's, a bike I remember more than any.
One day I do intend to replace the crank and pedals with a 3 piece albeit at the moment on those sunny days out my Daughters like to ride the Robbo so you can guess the rest..... :coolsmiley: Iam on pins all the time...... :2funny:
The bike when I first brought it home.
The wheels Araya 7x with Chrome plated Suzue hubs.
Going Blue and gold, well maybe..... :-\
Ready for the Radchester do :smitten:
Dont leave the Baseball cap out :police:
Cheers :daumenhoch:
I am on with a couple more builds now.....this is getting out of control..... 8)

Saw this in the flesh when you first got it from your mate and you've done a great job bringing that frameset back to life 8)
I guess the addiction has well and truly started as I know there's another two framesets on the go already :LolLolLolLol:
