Roberts '91 Build. Chainset restored

[66 triumph daytona]

A Tiger 90 bikini bath tub would be £4,500-£5000 currently.

It had matching frame/engine numbers as well. I stove enamelled the frame and had all the paintwork done Artic White.
I did restorations with my brother. Last bike was a Royal Enfield Continental GT with Race fairing. You never get your money back. It's all for the love of it really.
Sticking to bicycles now.
Recently finished a Ciöcc San Christobal.

Beautiful Ciöcc!

Interesting lugs and rear drops after paint strip yesterday (Super Dec stripper took all day)

BB Reynolds investment cast

Rear drops Shimano SF

Seat Lug looks Roberts custom made, the brazing join to the seat stays is just about visible. Beautiful

 

[JCS]

Beautiful metalwork there

 

[Thame Game]

Strip complete. Mystery Muddy Fox done as well.

Today I stretched out the rear 130mm to easily slot in a 135mm hub. I used my homemade device. The mech hanger was a little out of wack, so that got corrected after the stretch. Weirdly stretching the back brought the hanger into better alignment anyway.

Thats probably because stretching a frame tends to put the drop outs out of perfect alignment with each other.....as the rear of the drop out becomes tilted out.

That's probably moved a twisted hanger back into place with it.

... paint strip yesterday (Super Dec stripper took all day)

What did you use to strip the paint please? Looks like it did a better job than the Nitromors I've been struggling with...

(Lovely frame by the way, bookmarking for updates in the expectation it turns out as nce as the Ciocc...)

 

[Thame Game]

I use SupaDec @ £9 a bottle. It took a couple of passes to get the lot off. Not as harsh to work with as the Nitromors. Should have primer on in next few days.
