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.

I don't do XTR, sorry!

Mike

QUALITY....!

Re:

Not had time to have a measure up yet, but there's another on the forum with a 30.9 seatpost! Hope mine is more conventional!
Would decals have been single letters, or a complete 'ROBERTS' in one, if that makes sense?

Hoping a normal Pace steerer would be ok as a longer replacement, if I can find one. Again, not measured up to find out the length I need yet.
Wish I hadn't sold the white Turbo saddle now! But I do have a nice Ritchey one, so that's good.

Why are you pulling up a chain? Do you have something to tell us?

You would have been crazy to turn that down

Re:

I can measure up the decal placement if you need

Re:
