Robinson RSR finished
« on: December 04, 2010, 11:40 PM »
Another Robinson Finished .. 1984 RSR pro ..

Big Thanks to SBD for the powder  :4_17_5:

Del for the decals  :4_17_5:

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 ..  :-*  :4_17_5:

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 ... :daumenhoch:

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

Parts List .


Robinson    Pro  Frame,Forks , Bars

Chrome Proclass Rims with Poilished SR hubs ,Black nipples .. ( the original bike would have had Chrome Araya 7X with Suzue hubs )

Comp III tyres  ( oiginal bike had IRCZ-3's ) because he could'nt get any comp III's

Polished Dia-Comp MX-1000 caliper ,Tech 3 Lever DC cable

NOS SunTour Stem

NOS kashi Aero Seat

Suntour seat clamp

Oakley B2'S

NOS Tange BB

NOS Black Headset

NOS Suginio 175 one piece

NOS Suginio Spider

Pro neck Chain Ring  ( should have a suntour ) that i have but the Pro neck looks better .

NOS Izumi Chain

SunTour  Bear Trap  XCII Pedals

Strong Seatpost  :daumenhoch:

                 
                   
                   
                   
                 
                 
                 
                 
                   
                 
                   
                     
                 
                  81-84  mini on its way soon ...  I just need the cruiser ..  :P

Another cracker Carl to add to the ever expanding collection  :4_17_5:

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

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  :D

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  :daumenhoch:

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   :daumenhoch:..  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   :daumenhoch:

  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  :daumenhoch:   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....  :smitten:
