I was Very Nervous all yesteday .. Waiting for a guy from the states to accept my offer on a rare robbo ... He didnt want to post it to the UK untill i showed all my other Robinson's

And Now it's Going to live in Leigh , Where it belongs

It's going to take some work ..

This is Very Very rare

i have Seen a few .. This is One of my all time Fav Robinson's and the only one on the museum .. Should i do mine RED

I know someone in the UK that has the frame but No forks ..

Anyway Here goes .. Check the Cranks and i do Belive Propa BOB REEDY pedals with REEDY cages .. Unlike the demco cages on reedy spindels on my 78 ...

And here is My other 79 flat plate Gusset to complete the Set ... MK 12 70's race bikes could be interesting next year if i get these finished

Red gets my vote, super nice and clean, simple lines. Great find and good negotiating

I really getting into the earlier builds, nostalgia or maybe just old age creeping up.

Blue is cool - but red is lush

Now, have you sent my wheels

Pity about the rusty gusset

as you could have gone for candy (blue or red) straight on top of chrome like Jamroll's lovely CW.

I spotted this on ebay the other day, looks like a great find and worth the price if you ask me

Darren Wood · « **Reply #23 on:** August 15, 2011, 04:03 PM »

Yes Carl made up for you on that one mate

I like the blue Carl but like you say, see what it's like when it arrives.

Great find though, bet they guy in the States nearly wet his 48" waisted Wranglers when he saw your Robbo collection.
