I know someone in the UK that has the frame but No forks ..
Anyway Here goes .. Check the Cranks and i do Belive Propa BOB REEDY pedals with REEDY cages .. Unlike the demco cages on reedy spindels on my 78 ...

Good choice, love my blue one.... :daumenhoch:
-
Blue is cool - but red is lush :daumenhoch:
Now, have you sent my wheels :daumenhoch:
-
Pity about the rusty gusset >:D as you could have gone for candy (blue or red) straight on top of chrome like Jamroll's lovely CW.
-
congrats on landing that one carl,it makes me feel a whole lot better about how much $$$$$$$$ i spent at mk last week too!!! i think that red totally rocks,altho everyone knows i do love all things chrome :smitten:

:4_17_5:

I'd say it leave it as is, a survivor

-
Yes Carl made up for you on that one mate :daumenhoch:
WOODY :)
-
I like the blue Carl but like you say, see what it's like when it arrives.
Great find though, bet they guy in the States nearly wet his 48" waisted Wranglers when he saw your Robbo collection. :daumenhoch:
-
top score there Carl proper made up for you :daumenhoch: red looks good blue is different, but if the chrome is good keep as is :daumenhoch: if you cant decide once she arrives bbq beer and a vote :coolsmiley:

you are going to be known as" the graduate" carl as anything with the name robinson you've got to have it :LolLolLolLol: :daumenhoch:
-
Its Arrived in the country :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
How do i know :knuppel2: Customs duty £343.75 FFS :tickedoff: oh well
and another for £47.65 that must be for the BLUE NOS Comp 2's ^"^
-
Thats one expensive bike !!! That only you wants :LolLolLolLol:
-
:shocked:
-
Clean it up and leave it chrome... :daumenhoch:
Nice score but those customs charges.... :wtf:
-
:shocked: Fook me Carl , that's a hefty bill :(
-
Looking forward to seeing this Carl 8) :daumenhoch:
Get some pics up when it lands.
How the hell is this country supposed to do business with fees like that? :crazy2:
It'll be cheaper to get stuff sent to another EU country then sent on.
-
You must have paid through the nose for that :shocked:
-
:shocked: Fook me Carl , that's a hefty bill :(
It's alright he'll have loads of money in a couple of weeks :-X

That was before the customs men came knocking :D
If the chrome is tidy Carl it's always a shame to powder over it imo . If it's not good i would do it Blue 8)
Fook it, im going with Blue ... voted :daumenhoch:
-
I voted for blue too Joff, I just think that seeing a red, white and blue Robbo lined up together @ MK12 will be mega.
Your call though Carlos.!! :daumenhoch:
-

I really wanna go blue but :-\ Let's see what comes out the box tomorrow . :smitten: it's gonna be like Xmas Come early . ;)
-
If you want a blue one buy another Robbo !!!!! It would be sacrilege to refinish this even if the chrome is not A1 . If you want to win the 70's class next year keep as much as the original parts/finishes as you can . Did you read what the judges are looking for ? Trust me ;)
-
Deffo Chrome buddy.... you know it makes sense :daumenhoch:
-
:wtf: thats a bit steep that customs bill Carl. ive voted blue buddy but im defo with Mr crazy craig if the chromes good or at least half decent survivour look mate :daumenhoch:

Survivor frame and candy blue forks ......
The pedals are ace :daumenhoch:

-
Anyone know what the stem is ?
Early SR stem I would say Carl, 79-81ish :daumenhoch:
-
Sr mini stem. Got a red one here. Not as common but by no means rare.
-
Got some shimano 600's here if you're interested. (not the 3 pronged jobby's)
-
In fact, got a couple of nice period bits here if you're after some.
-
Those 3 arm spider Shimano cranks are very nice, introduced in 1975 and ran to 1977, they are actually called GC-100's the 600 on the arm is the primary group. They are actually the 1st series of the 600 group and then in 78 they changed to a 5 arm spider.
-
They look like fooked up dura ace. No wonder they dumped em. :LolLolLolLol:
Got some silly sod sr's from that period too. The first apex cranks with mini spider. Can't stand the ugly sods, I'm vevr happy they standardised bolt patterns.
