Love it, looks amazing - Del and Dan put that magic into a restoration for sure

Not wishing to be nit-picky, but is the left fork decal on the right way?? I thought they run from bottom to top on the left (they do on my RSR) $:-\$ .

Looks ace Carl

Del is the master and the old school white from Dan looks super sweet

They do on all my other Robbo's .. But as it's a 78 and not much known about the decals . I can't find anything on the museum to help me . I put the decals on the forks the same way they were before it was striped and I think the decals were original from the bike being new. Who knows

.. I have added the R logo to the down tube that it didn't have before and think it looks better for it .

Carl, pure quality, if that's how it was then that's how it has to be

I can't wait to see this built up

Thanks Andy

.

.. It's been playing on my mind all day after Marty said something

, as it's no History about which way is right or wrong $:-\$ ( but thats the way it was when i got it ) I'll make sure it's changed tomorrow !!! ...

I'm happy now

. Someone in the Robinson factory in 78 had a bad day and put the fooking decals upside down ...

In2 bmx · « **Reply #17 on:** January 30, 2011, 05:56 PM »

Changed my mind again ... Original decals .. you can just see both the R logos are at the top .... Thats the way she is staying

Jeeeez Carl , we had all this conversation last week at yours ......... you decided then it was staying as it originally was despite me saying it would do my head in

The one consolation is all your pics will be taken of the drive side of the bike and that fork decal is on the correct way

bobafett · « **Reply #20 on:** January 30, 2011, 10:05 PM »

If that's how it was - that's how it should be

Besides - no-one will be looking at the fookin decals once those parts go on
