Now this is Special .. 1978 first gen Robinson

It's ultra rare as fook and could be the only one in the country ? It's a part of BMX and Robinson history . There is only 2 others ive seen on the Museum . . Even though i bought some cranks of JT Racing ( that are going on my 79 robbo ) everything has been shipped in from around the world ( apart from the euro bb and headset ) . The seat post and clamp were originally on the bike in 78 Bitd.. Some Rare and hard to find parts and as era correct as i could . Pedal cages are 79-80 ? apart from that its all 78-79

Big thanks to SBD for the powder

Del for the headtube decal

Here is a pic of Scott Clarke From 78 .. note the Decal on the right hand fork ( before anyone says it's upside down )
