Rare 1979 Robinson finished
« on: January 29, 2012, 11:05 AM »
Well one of my holy grails is finished .. i didn't think i'd find one of these  :smitten:  I just needed the plate and the pads for the last few weeks .. 
The reason this one is so hard to find because they only made it for a short while , ( less than a year )  my therory is the hole in the gusset was too much like a Mongosse or Cook bros and Chuck Robinson changed the gusset to a flat gusset towards the end of 79 and the following year the Famous RRP  Stamped gusset ..

I love the 78 Robbo i did last year but i think this one just takes it ..

As always looking for nice 70's parts most of this bike was sorced from outside the UK ... 

Thanks To Steve ( firebird ) for taking the time with these pads .. they look Awesome  :daumenhoch:
Thanks to Snav for coming taking some Photos of her .. :daumenhoch:

         Stem : Gen 1 Tuf Neck

         Seat post : Steel Came with the bike

          Seat : NOS Quilted Elina super-pro

         Seat Clamp : Gen 1 Excaliber

         Cranks: Campagnolo Strada 170 with Camy end caps

          Chainring Bolts:Campagnolo

          Chainring : NOS Campagnolo 44t

          Pedals : Bob Reedy

          Brakes : NOS Shimano Tourney NOS pre bent lever

          Chain : NOS DID

         Hubs : Campagnolo Tipo

Here is how it all started .. poor thing



This Pad was One the bike when it arrived , i had no chance of getting off without breaking it ..

Steve did an amazing job to the mm  on the pads he made ..

Carl  :daumenhoch:

Parts choice and attention to detail is spot on mate  :coolsmiley:

Like Snav and Dubber have said it actually looks even better in the flesh , there's been a few Monday nights pondering and looking for bits for this one  :D

The collection is nearing completion  ........ or is it  :-X

I am really getting worried now as this is the 2nd chrome bike that I have fallen in love with in the last week on this site and I don't usually like chrome.

It really is a fooking beauty Carl, top top build mate.  :4_17_5:
