The old Laserlite has gone in for a makeover so i needed a new rider . I had been after the all chrome version of one of the late 80's early 90's Robinsons for a while. After a few PM's with Crazy Craig he said he knew someone who had just got back into BMX's who had one and it might be for sale . That's when i first met Carl (In2bmx) (how many bikes have you built since i got this off you ;D ) A deal was struck for the frame and forks, bars and twin pinch cranks and she was mine .
A few of the RADsters will have already seen it as it has been to a couple of the Ramp city nights in Blackpool , it has had a few tweaks since then ready for Saturdays Berm Chester booze cruise :D
It will also be getting regular outings at Coppull when the Monday night roll arounds start again. Hopefully it will also be making an appearance at one of the old school summer race meets ( hence the plate !) ...... no doubt fighting it out at the back of the pack :D
Massive thanks goes to:
Carl for parting with a Robo :shocked:
Crazy Craig for finding it for me
JTSmooth for hubs,spokes and loads of other bits
Mattfx81 for the chainring,Tuf neck disc and the padset .
There's a few GT parts on it because GT bought Robinson in the late 80's .
