Don't see many in that size. Shame it's collection only.

 

[Tootyred]

Its way too small sadly...i would love a good roberts, but the chances of a white spider or dogs, in my size is about the same as me traveling to the moon and finding a costa there......oh hang on.....Elon....ready the ship!

Plus i assume its a kinda "rough stuff" and i think the clearance at the rear may be an issue for off road ?

 

[retroJIM]

Yes, you're right. Seat tube would be fine for me but the top tube would be too short I think. Not sure on the clearance, they do say it's running 2 inch tyres so it might be ok.

Hi all,
I’m the seller of the Roberts. It takes a 2” tyre, plenty of clearance at the rear. I had everything stretched out to the max due to the frame being on the small side at 6’ 3”. Even so the bike steered/handled beautifully both loaded and unloaded with a 110mm stem and drops. I’d say it’s a perfect fit for someone in the region of 5’9”-6’0”. Bear in mind the stand over of ~80cm. The Phil Wood touring hubs (2003) likely have less than 1500 miles in them and are as smooth as you’d expect.

Ps. Hello Tooty, think I purchased a TA chain ring from you a short while back.

I'm 6ft on the nose. Shirt legs tho! And I've been wanting a bike to buy in the UK and leave at my parents house there for when I'm visiting. This would be a really strong contender and a great option...

I'd just have to mail a bunch of spare parts home!

@SquallyShowers I'm going to be back in July. If, for some reason, it doesn't sell on eBay, hit me up as I might be very interested in meeting up for a cash sale.
