It's a Roberts. Enough said. Class frames

Re: Roberts Genesis - 1993

Yes, thanks and credit to Sinnerman for the brochure scan and TrevorKershaw for the review - I'll look up the full scan. Well pleased with this - in fact I'm awake early so I might pop for a little ride!

That's the full '96 review - a later bike of course. Based on the Roberts brochure, there should be a 1992/3 MBUK with a review of this year's Genesis. Anyone?

A quick snap from this morning, I'm really liking this bike!

Yep, that's definitely a beauty. Nice and understated with classic looks and a great pedigree. The price makes it even sweeter

Re: Roberts Genesis - year?

Giving this a clean, and therefore close inspection, after it has been tucked away in the garage since November, and I'm having second thoughts on the year (tbh, I can't recall why I though '93 in the first instance )...
Group set is Deore II, MT62 mechs & cantilevers, MT60 cranks, MT63 levers, with xt shifters, which I think date to 1989, and the Frame number looks like 89722. Even the Turbo saddle is stamped '88.
Possibly a few years earlier than I thought.
18" frame c-t, 16" c-c with a 22" top tube
Lugged bb, so certainly not something top end like a White Spider, w
Does anyone know whether the 'Genesis' was around in '89?
Certainly a rather lovely frame though, and I'll hopefully be able to get the cantilevers set up soon :?
Insight from other Roberts owners would be very welcome. More pictures tomorrow!
Cheers all.
