Robinson RSR finished

[In2 bmx]

Another Robinson Finished .. 1984 RSR pro ..

Big Thanks to SBD for the powder 

Del for the decals 

And Joff for his work on the Pedals and chainring ..  And for the deal we did for me to get the Robinson Pro bars he had on his kuwi ..   

Anyway . Late 1983 Alan Woods found himself with the new Robinson frame and forks ,( without the gusset )   as Robinson's never came as full bikes, he had his own decals made and started selling the RSR with his choice parts and as a full bike ..
 
Its not 100% to the original bike .. but pretty much .. I like to put my own twist on things ...

Sorry about the photo's it was snowing yesterday and raining today .. oh And the Cranks not facing forward .

[NORTY40]

Another cracker Carl to add to the ever expanding collection 

The few custom touches you have made to this bike have added to it's appeal imo , nice build mate 

agree with Nath on the OPC , really suits it .


PS New conservatory is looking very nice too , still can't believe you had underfloor heating installed to keep the bikes warm 

[Bob_Acid]

Good job 

[brettypeeps]

Now that is nice   Love the pro class rims on it

[bobafett]

You finally finished her off Carl - love it mate 

Can't ever remember seeing one of these finished 

Great resto great build and like you said Joff done a mental job on those XCII's - best resto of these pedals I've ever seen 

 

   underfloor heating installed to keep the bikes warm 

He only switches it on for us on Monday nights Joff

Nice, I have the real thing, 100% survivor in my garage but an Expert, Alans shipped mine with ProClass bars confirmed by Alan himself as they ran out of Robinson bars 

How bad was the chrome to warrent getting it powdered?  I ask as they only came in chrome.











Here's mine, still in bits the moment though; hoping to get the rims sorted (rchrome or stripped and polished) in the next few weeks and built up in the New Year

 I found all that in your thread from 2 years ago Marty.it was a big help . Tony holland used to train at my house bitd.. He's on my face book but does'nt come on much ..

 Anyway out of the 200 RSR's Alan did . There were about 20 red ones he had done Specialy   ..  Thats why i did mine Red ..  Its a very rare Color for a Robinson...

There was a Rumor he had Gusset Robbo's left  he removed the Gussets and had them powdered to get shut of them BUT the RSR has the fatter down tube so that wasnt True..

Alan himself sold What i think was his Last Remaining RED RSR on ebay last year ..  i was bidding on it and it only went for £225   

[Del]

another stunning build there Carl 

[hunterdubber]

Sweet build Carl 


I wondered about the red myself , till I read the full rundown  , cool,   is there 21 red ones now


Looks well in the line up 


Good luck with the cruiser find , it's only a matter of time 



Oh and Marty tidy that fooookin ' garage

Good stuff, never knew they did them in red 

Oh and Marty tidy that fooookin ' garage   

I couldn't be arsed to tidy it up moved to Australia instead!!!  My current workbench is nearly as messy now 

[mattfx81]

I remember the red on ebay was early this year I think, it was a team riders own bike I think.

  The Parts Alan put on it that made it the RSR ..  Easier for him to shift them as a full bike ...
The Team RSR Robbo's had Redline flights Like the one Tony is riding in the photo...   I was so tempted to put Flights on it but glad i didn't     Ive only even seen 1 other red one and that was the one for sale on ebay..  Im not sure if Alan still has his red one    . I remember him having a white one ..

Where did you find yours Marty ? you dont see many full bikes ike yours.... 

[monkian]

Another lovely job Carlos. Great addition to the fleet
