Another bike that looks soooooooo much better in the flesh - the chrome job on this is ace 8)

Another cracker Carl - time you got the full robbo collection over to that field for a group shot :coolsmiley:

Maybe after the 79's done ?

PS - those alternating red/blue nipples are ace ! ;D 8)

Post by: Mattdub on May 09, 2011, 02:10 PM: Very nice Carl :daumenhoch: , those pedals go crazy close to the front tyre ! ( or is it camera angle ? ) . Headangle looks super tight , lightning steering !

just what i thought.... too many front hops maybe? or are the forks the wrong way round? looks real cute though! ;)
Title: Re: 83 Junior Robinson Finished
Post by: Jt on May 09, 2011, 04:07 PM: i'd hazard a guess on the forks being the wrong way round.

looks ace though ( or will do when they've been turned round, or bent back!)
Title: Re: 83 Junior Robinson Finished
Post by: In2 bmx on May 09, 2011, 04:40 PM: The cranks are long but they did come on that bike .. Ill turn the forks round later and see what happens :LolLolLolLol: Or ride it to my local and see how it goes ;D

Checked the forks and they are on the right way :daumenhoch: and they don't look bent ???

Maybe the 175 cranks are throwing out a little ??? .
