Hiya Guys, thought some of you may appreciate a trip down memory lane! Took me about 6 months to gather the parts. Sprocket and chain to finish..I used a light acid bath on the frame & forks, most components are early to mid 80's, frame is 83, wheel rims new old stock 84, matching hubs 80's bought individually off eBay took a few months!

Awesome, looks like the old skyway I used to have.

Keep up the good work.

Nice. But an R gusset deserves some un drilled Robinson forks, bars and seat post ( which i have tucked away smile )

Sorry. NOS parts just don't grow on trees like they used to smile

Have an NOS Robinson race shirt still in the packet somewhere. And a NOS pad set. Will have a look.

That's how I bought the frame set, I guess they broke bitd? They are an aftermarket fork so if you are going to it's the one to have? Unstamped early ones too.

That's great. Sorry I can't tell from the pictures but are they mushroom grips and Redline cranks?
