With the Hutch off the bench in the man cave, and 90% finished, there's now room for the '90 Robbo Pro f/f that I got off Sam, cheers Sam.

It's gonna be sweet as Dan ... Great colours Robbos .. Lots of things work well... I do like the later style (90 onwards) decals too!

They're nice, i did a black one as my first oldschool build. Even raced it at MK a couple of times. Very light and decent geometry. I sold it a while back but i still like them, very nice graphics on them. Go for chrome and black for me.

I'm going to stick with the original chrome and decals, a proper survivor/rider.

Looks like you got a nice bunch of parts already.

Well, just a few bits I had on the shelf really, the crank/spider/BB were off my Firebird Freestyler, I had a black Tange headlock, so swapped it with Lenny for the red, and got the hubs very cheap off eBay. The wheels and tyres will go on my GT, but they are the same as what will go on this, except with red nipples.

Great frame and forks those Dan , I love my Robo Pro rider

Looking forward to seeing the progress on this , if it comes out as good as the Hutch you will have another cracker in the man cave

very nice

Looks great Dan. There's lots of scope to change the colour scheme from time to time with these to keep it fresh. Similar to doing a T/A, Patterson or GHP build. Countless colour combinations

The seat clamp and post arrived from Alan's today, ordered them yesterday for the princely sum of £16 inc delivery. Also the Suntour 44t chainring arrived off Olly. These chainring bolts are too big, but I've found some for £4 inc delivery. This will be a proper budget build.

Jaymz · « **Reply #15 on:** April 09, 2015, 09:56 PM »

Looking good mate

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 11, 2015, 04:11 PM »

So the budget build slipped further under budget when I rooted through my spares box and found all the components for a headset and Tange BB. A bit of Autosol and Dremelling, and they're getting used.

Jaymz · « **Reply #17 on:** April 15, 2015, 09:09 PM »

Bargain, looking good

That Swan Guy · « **Reply #18 on:** April 15, 2015, 09:12 PM »

I've got various Robbo decals at home you can have, I'll dig them out when I'm back next

Lovely stuff Nick, need some for the bars and seat post.

Nice frameset Dan.

Wish I'd kept mine.

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 16, 2015, 07:00 PM »

I ordered some of these today, they are the same rims I've used on my Patterson and Hutch. They are getting sent straight to Jay to have polished shiny sides. I already have the spokes for these, but I'd anyone is getting rid of some red LF 36h hubs, then please let me know.

That Swan Guy · « **Reply #22 on:** April 17, 2015, 01:47 AM »

I have NOS silver Suzue I could do a deal on

bobbbbsy · « **Reply #23 on:** April 17, 2015, 03:00 AM »

Why all the mid 80 s bits though ?
