What’s this then?

Just missed out on this - I think the winning bidder had placed a pretty high bid. Come on - which of you was it??

Looks very cool. I’m not sure what is it .. but I assume it’s a variation of Overburys pioneer - with extra bottle bosses and weird rear gear routing

Details all look correct - except for the top of the fork.

Thoughts?

The serial number doesn't look right. OK, two previous workers at Roberts confirm that this is not a Roberts. It's still nicely made though and if anybody can point to a likely maker I'd be interested to know.

I think Overbury's is a good shout, not sure on serial numbers though, a total bargain if you ask me.

I was tempted by this but decided it was too small, this was a first for me as I usually don't decide that until after the purchase

Does look like an Overburys in many ways. Is the serial number a bit long though?

I thought it could be an Orbit. Not sure.

Unsure myself, the light bracket on the rh side of the fork gave it away as touring rather than MTB tho

 

[KermitGKona88]

Definitely a completely custom build, shame I didn't see it earlier would have been right up my street...

That surely takes the record for the highest number of bosses ever put on a downtube
