Is this a Robinson?

[lk_97]

I saw this frame on a website, he wants 50 quid for it, he says it's a robinson mini frame from the late 70's early 80's. He says the chrome is in decent shape. I sent him a message asking for the serial number. Anyway, here's a pic:

earlier ones had a gusset ......

It could be a Robinson Mini they started making mini's without a gusset around 1980 and they had those long dropouts, however for me there is something wrong where the top tube meets the upper looptail, Robinsons had a small gap between the top tube and the looptail tube, whereas that one tube meets the other.  Also the rear dropouts although similar, the mini Robinsons had a slightly different shape.

For me I would say no, but what the hell do I know.

yes its an early 80's robbo, but its a junior

Cool! How much? And how much do you think it is worth, if I went to sell it on?

it isn't worth a carat without the correct forks
you will struggle to get over fifty knicker for it.
