Sorry another R Robinson, I need help....

[BADDH]

One of Two Robinson builds that will keep me ticking along this winter 

This 1980/81 R model Frame and Forks is the second in my collection (Tink's is in the background in the shot) this was shipped over along with Carl's Scott Clark EBB fron Chicago, Illinois, the Robinson Bars were from MarkyP and the other bits I either already had or will need to source over the next couple of months......









One from the Manchester meeting of Tink's bike.

I think Red"s the colour for a R Robinson,  got one with Black that's a replica of my Pro I raced BITD and going to do the other one Blue I will start shortly

My 1986 Robinson Pro.

Not sure what the spec was on these new, but to be honest I think I will go with a blue theme.

There was plenty of these bikes around Wigan mate given Alan was the sole importer for a number of the US manufacturers and we had three tracks within 30  minutes of each other.

Did a bit of work on these yesterday

[BADDH]

I have found something tonight, I had some of my R bikes build up for a mate to look at and he noticed my two smaller framed bikes have quite a few differences in them  .

He is right too they are  different In terms of size and geometry.

My original one known as the 81 with a serial 112*** and no E or P stamping on the drop out is an 18" TT and has quite a significant angle towards the head stock.

My other one we think is an 81 with an earlier serial 050*** stamped on the BB, no E or P stamped on dropouts but the frame is 3/4" longer at just under 19"  TT  and has a different shape to the rear brake bridge area and the TT is much shallower angle to the other frame, but the frame and wheelbase is definitely 1" longer when sude by side. The other noticable difference is the tubing and BB is thicker guage material.

I have an 83 Pro here and that is 19.5" TT just a smidge longer then the 050 frameset.


What's your thoughts on this ?
