86 robinson rider

[58 delray]

this is an 86 robinson i'm putting to gether to ride/race.
frame and forks are in survivor condition and came from Marc (Kuwahero) on here
it will have twin pinch flights with a profile spyder and possibly araya aero's, not sure with the wheels yet.
bars are powerlites
stem dk
seat elina
clamp tange






the brake is a mixnmatch mx1000 but i want to change it for a 901
the rear drop outs had taken a battering but i have straightened them out good enough for a rider, might get it powdered black later in the year

From the shape of the top of the forks I would say it's an 87 (I had an 86 BITD and the forks were more rounded at the crown), I think you can date the serial numbers on these from memory.

One of the best riding bikes I had back then good buy

the frame is deffo 86 from the serial but the forks may be later, do you have any pics i can compare to?

Only got a side view scanned in at the moment but I have got a front view somewhere I'll see if I can find it and scan it in

Here you go. The frames are the same from what I remember it's just the forks go a bit GT at the top in 87 (I think that was the year GT bought Robinson out and Greg Hill started riding for them). I bought my F&F from the Robinson Team bus in July or August 86, been trying for months to get one up to that point but they weren't in the country.

my forks do go a bit GTish at the top so i would say i have a 86 frame with 87 forks maybe?

Yeh could be a mix Del just have a look at the frame number I think they go month then year  . Just got me an 82 hope to get a bit of OSS racing done on that

that would make sense then as it dates it as an october 86
