Robins bikes?

[Mark Manley]

Has anyone heard of this brand? One has popped up on marketplace although it was listed 6 years ago so might have sold. Were it not for the pantographed seat stays and forks I would have thought it was something else re-badged but it looks like a Reynolds decal and some nice lugs but only a 5 or 6 speed, I have tried Google but only get Robin Hood aka Raleigh so no help there.

Robins

It's almost-certainly the surname of the builder i.e.  Robins rather than Robin's that would be the builder's first name.

You are right, I had taken Robin's from the seller's description.

Those abhorrent apostrophes cause havoc wheresoever they’re deployed.

I have probably caused more confusion now by editing the title to correct it.

I specifically came in here to make a scene about apostrophe use, but it looks like everything is actually in order. Damn.

Carry on.

bit of a mix of ages.......... The fame design is 80's (ish) but the lugs hark back to an earlier period.

By the time this frame was made most lugs were plain. I wonder if the R stands for something else. Roberts?
