I'm based in Kent so would have been someone else. Roberts road bikes seem quite popular around Surrey and Kent

Your build looks sweet. I hope you and the Dog haven't suffered too much damage on your "off".

Frame was around 900. Worth it, though and should last me.

I've collected all the receipts but not totalled it up. I would estimate probably just over 3k as it currently stands but I'm planning some changes. I'm tempted to re build the wheels with DT Swiss carbon rims and change the seat to a carbon railed selle italia that I have lying around...

I bought the disc on eBay and it was a bit buckled. Unfortunately the LBS could not true it up.

Thanks for your comments everyone. I can't remember tyre size. I think they may be 2.35". I was going to get the frame in the classic black and White but then I saw this colour. It is actually a silver base with a translucent blue lacquer that let's the silver shine through. It looks...

Hi, I've got pics of my Roberts DB on a new thread.

Pics of my DOGS BOLX. althoughthis is a 2009 build, it is classic old school using shortish 80mm forks. It was designed to be a xc racer like those from the early 90s when I was a kid. It is my daily ride. I also have the yeti ultimate pictured elsewhere on the forum

I know what you mean. Im probably going to put the original xt brakes back on. The disc wheel has been sold and I have a purple ringle hub on the back. I'm going to try and keep it all purple ringle

The forks are the original Manutius. Yours do look almost identical. I'm guessing they must be aftermarket stickers. Also, I can totally relate to anyone who says they knock their ankles against the e-stays.

Very nice. I like the attention to detail

My e-stay. In a yeti fan

Hi everyone, I'm Jason, used to do a lot of mountain bike racing in the early 90s when I was in my early teens. Got my dream bike, a yeti, whe I was 14 and recently taken up cycling again. I now do off road riding but also a fair few sportives and the cycling leg on team relay triathlons...
