Rode out part way to Geoff Roberts Cycles near Hailsham, East Sussex today. They had an open day, so I thought I'd take a look.
Some lovely machines there, and mine!

The bike of the friend I rode with, ironically a Murray! Actually a Roberts, painted for the previous owner. Not me!

I must admit, we did get some funny looks from a chaingang we passed, being on a mountain bike and track bike!
There were some beautiful bikes here, I'll leave you with a selection of photos to drool over.

Classy, Colourtech is used for Roberts framesets. Controversial I know.

Pearl white, chrome and a shiny groupset. Wonderful! One of my favourites of the day.
Enjoy, folks
