Sold Roberts Cumbria 26” on/off road tourer (proto-gravel) f&f

[iveto1983]

Without wishing to impact Mat’s thread, I have this smaller one available as a frameset. Anyone interested pm me.
Mat, if you feel this is out of line, let me know and I’ll delete.

p.s. mine is a 27.2 post so I’d assume same for yours.

Fine to leave it here … it’s a different size and all info we can collect on Roberts is good with me.
Fancy a swap? Probably a touch small.

 

[MatBH5]

Still available.
Stand over is 83cm.
Couple of paint chips shown on the top tube and you can see the sparkly paint in this one.

Interested to hear what you guys think the max tyre clearances are on these?

 

[MatBH5]

There’s plenty of room at the front, I can pop a mountain bike wheel/tyre to check but I reckon 2.0”, maybe 2.1”.
At the rear the seatstay clearance is generous enough, it would be the chainstay area that’ll be the limiting factor. I will try a 1.95” tyre on there.
Could always run a larger front tyre.
Will try to snap some photos with alternative wheels/tyres tomorrow.

Super cool bike and my size but I've neither the money nor the need

 

[MatBH5]

Ok… tyre size. I have popped a set of 2.1” knobblies in there. It’s probably tighter than I’d run at the rear chainstay, but they do fit and spin. So 1.95 or 2.0 probably ok.
I think the claimed 1.75” tyre on the build sheet above allowed for a mudguard - or fender as our US chums would say.

Wow... I'd so love to have one of these but fear I am between sizes of both the options. May I ask how tall the riders are? I am 6' on the nose...

 

[MatBH5]

I’m 5’11” (and a bit on a good day) but have more torso than leg, so generally have the seat lower than I ‘should’ based on height.
I popped the saddle height on the original ad I think.

 

[iveto1983]

I’ve had 1.85” Miniraptor tyres fitted with fenders so would say that a low profile 2” tyre would fit ok.

I’m just over 5’10” with a 33” inseam. My saddle height in the pic is set to 29.5”.
