Roberts Rendezvous.

Retrobike's road forum is pretty much a Roberts Free Zone, but there was a good turnout at last week's inaugural Roberts Rendezvous.

Yup, it was a good gathering, some lovely bikes. I was there with one of mine, though I left before the picture was taken.

That's a pretty impressive showing alright.
Any more information on the gathering would be greatly received I'm sure.
I know it's not just myself that would be interested to learn more.

Thanks

Jamie

Thanks Jamie.

This event at the Guildhall in London, had been sometime in the planning by Tom (Bogdanowicz). I'd been invited well over a year ago - but this was even before a venue had been firmed up - because I'd contributed to an article on Roberts; I've known Roberts for many years and have three early, Charles Roberts built, road frames as well as a Winston Vaz built Audax from Chas.

Attendees were also invited to bring any Roberts frames built for other shops (e.g Geoffrey Butler), I took one of my two Roberts built Geoffrey Butlers.

Back to the event. Excellent turnout and some very nice, friendly people, I was not aware of any RetroBikers in attendance. Geoff Roberts and Winston Vaz were there along with a few other guys that I didn't get a chance to speak with. Road bikes outnumbered mountainbikes by a margin, and there was a good selection of early-ish as well as late examples.

The Rendezvous was part of the bigger event that was the City Cycling Festival - Past, Present, Future.
