Re: New project
Same size as your old/new bike Carl!
Anyway, here it is,
A lovely dark blue Roberts White Spider.

Not sure what Columbus tubing it has, or the year for that matter.
The fella had it from new, had it repainted, and has been in his loft for around 10 years.
Just a chance chat at the lbs, and I now have a project.
Just need a steerer for the forks, a pair of downtube decals, and maybe a seatpost. Not sure what size these take. Also a pair of M730 175mm cranks, and maybe XT brake levers, if I choose thumbies.
I don't do XTR, sorry!

Re: Re:
Well, that's pretty accurate! Thanks!
Unsure of tubing at present, but the downtube is ovalised at the bb end. Will put the verniers to it tonight. Not familiar with Max OR tubing, but doesn't look extreme like the road version.
I was wondering if it would be the older or newer font for the decals. Stem is newer type, I know
As a, it's my favourite bike colour, b, going to be a rider and c, 99% intact, I will leave it that colour. I'll see if I can get some matching nail varnish for touch ups. Not quite sure where the black, white spider decal will go though, as it will hardly be noticeable.
Maybe Gil_m could do one in, appropriately, white! Along with downtube decals.
