My third Build has been the one I have taken more time over collecting the parts and refraining from building this until I have it all 100% in a box....... :daumenhoch:
To start with selecting a collection of parts to Build a complete custom Bike using some of the most memorable components I could remember back then obviously with budget in mind., I have a couple of bits to add yet albeit I will update the thread in line with the progression.
It was not a difficult decision to buy my second Robinson :smitten: Being a Wigan lad and having ALANS on your door step we saw many of them raced at the Three sisters/Preston/Coppull and the local Winstanley Woods tracks amongst others we all rode together BITD.... :daumenhoch:
I also would mention my experioence of Robinsons is of the gusseted model like my Daughters albeit a bit small now for me to ride in Anger....I therefore took Joff's ( Norty40 ) for a test ride on our outings and of course seeing Carls bikes is over-load to a Robinson Fan :smitten: :daumenhoch:
The Sum of the parts to date

There's a chance it's first shakedown run out will be Radport... :coolsmiley:

Very nice. Thats going to be a thing of shiny loveliness. I have one of there in black. It feels very light and flimsy compared with anything modern but mine stood up well to some racetrack thrashing.

This should build into a real nice rider Darren :daumenhoch:
Frame and forks are mint 8)
Personally i would be looking at another seat combo tbh , there not my favourites but it's upto you mate .

Cheers Joff,
It's a cracking bike to ride, good geometry for a race bike more aggressive than the GT and it a very light bike too :daumenhoch:

Nice build Darren, did you do the rim strips yourself Pal? :daumenhoch:

Thanks buddy,
Rim strips, you mean the red tapes ? If so yes mate got some ribbon tape off eBay £1.00 still got quite a roll left for the next set.... ;)
These later GT Robbo"s are rather tasty, Carl has many models of theses GT/Robbo"s and to be honest I would definately look at another anyway, Joff has a tasty one he thrashes round on too, and if it's good enough for those guys .... :daumenhoch:
