I have just bought an old Roberts bike which I am stripping down and rebuilding. I don't know how old it is - although I guess it's early 80s. Since Roberts has now closed, I don't know if there's any way that I can check on its provenance. Any ideas?
It has "Roberts" built into the frame (although, curiously, not the usual "R" at the top of the forks but the whole word "Roberts"). But the decals don't say "Roberts" but "Flanders".
The frame needs to be shot blasted and resprayed, but I don't want to lose the decals. Does anyone know of somewhere that can make new decals modeled on the originals?
not sure if image embed works, here is a link to the album on flikcr https://www.flickr.com/gp/34394455@N07/U4a339
