Title: My Robinson....again!
Post by: Jt on March 19, 2008, 07:44 PM
this bike has been doing my head in...nearly sold it but persevered...finally after about 6 attempts using all sorts of different stuff, i ended up with something like how i remember them looking back in the day...think the 1.5's on 1.75's look just right :daumenhoch:

it's the most iconic (real world) bike for me back in the day, as a couple of lads who had them near me rode em for alans, .....jason ramsden, chris dyson etc.... dont know if they were any good on a national level, but they had all the gear and i was a jealous kid :P

Loverley that JT, I had one BITD, if it was mind i'd get ride of those white hubs for some red anno'd ones, apart from that, de-lish-ous! Needs a plate as well.  Oh, BTW, I have a BRAND NEW 83 Go Pro adult medium Robinson jersey on ebay rigjht now, absolutely era correct for that bike.

For me, when I was a kid, Robinson and Patterson were 'the' race bikes to have.

there odd thats for sure, but you get used to em...gives much needed length on what is a very short bike!

not sure how strong they are...15 stone, no technique or skill, nice big table top?

i'll be low riding in seconds :LolLolLolLol:
