Sorry now sold.

If I have no luck selling it complete in the next couple of weeks I may consider a split. I got it resprayed by Colourtech who do all Roberts' work, the Columbus stickers are no longer available. It wouldn't really be right anyway (in my opinion) as the newer frames have less Columbus tubing...

SOLD

What were you riding in those days? The race was during the winter 92-93 series. My dad used to keep the bonfire going in the start area. I always thought the old PORC races had a really good laid back vibe, I have visited a couple of times in the last few years but its changed a bit too much...

ooh I didn't know there was another Fillet Brazed, will admin let me alter my login slightly? perhaps Billet Frazed :D It's being resprayed by colourtech who do all Roberts work,the only problem is getting the little columbus dove, although it's not really relevant on the newer DBs as they...

This is my Retro Inspired DOGS BOLX, I needed a custom frame to cope with my oragutan arms and always wanted one of these back in the early 90's. It's currently being resprayed before next season in the classic black and white. I think the size of it makes it look a bit like a Kona. The next...

Tubs are definitely the way forward for racing, don't know about touring though :shock: I'm gradually moving to tubs for cross and it's Dugasts all the way (32mm Typhoons) I'm geting a second hand pair of GP4 on Dura Ace 9spd and will probably put some mud tyres (Dugast Rhinos or similar )on...

There probably wouldn't be an issue with strength but there would be an issue with the taper as Japanese bottom brackets have a larger taper. Basically a campag chainset would not push far enough onto a shimano bottom bracket and a shimano chainset would push too far (and probably not tight...
