1980 Scott Clark Robinson finished

[In2 bmx]

My last ever Robinson / build finished and this one has been a challenge   .. I found a photo of Scott on a Robinson and realised I had the jersey in the photo , so the rest of the bike had to follow ..  This photo is all I had to go off .  Scott and Bobby woods  



I had Scott on my Facebook and after time , he's helped me with the parts he can remember on the above bike .  It's not an exact replica but pretty close  

In all the photo's i have of Scott he's always running an inverted rear brake and I couldn't work out how he ran the cables until he gave me the answer ..

. I had thought of drilling the frame until i was told not to ..


 
  
Do I drill it  

A few months later , I was talking to Alan woods and told he told me he had an old plate somewhere and sent me a photo   .

And it's now complete ..  I love the Ame decal stuck over the Oakley decal after he changed sponsors

Been waiting on this one and it's worth the wait  

You hit the mark everytime , Carl , never fail .It's another bike of yours that ooozes real Old school  

Your Swan song Robinson    but not your last build    

Now you're just going to have to own all the Torkers

Superb attention to detail as always

Stunner Carl 

I know how much time and effort you have put into this build and you must be over the moon with the final result . To have Scotts race jersey and his original race plate is the icing on the cake 

Great spec aswell Carl and im glad you didn't drill the frame 


last build ...... bollox !! ......... onto the next one 

[boofy44]

love a gusset Robbo.

[Badbaldie]

it just doesnt get any better , a true labour of love and one hell of a cracking build.   and also have the race jersey , number plate and Scotts help is just awsum...........      IF you do decide to drill the frame....... dont go getting your black and decker out one night after the Bowling Green    send it to the man who can and will do it spot on 

[AKGOFF]

Race plate and jersey too? Very cool indeed Carl. 

[brummie]

Thanks all .. 

Joff , dubber .. It's my last one .. 

My work here has been done !

[BADDH]

You have a very special part of the Robinson storey there Carl,  I ve seen this build develop and its another Cracker from you mate  

Carl that little workshop in Chucks yard surely made its mark on the bmx scene ...  

Last build,  mmm.  Maybe a slow down but last build I doubt it  

[Mattdub]

Awesome Carl  , the details always make a difference 

[steve69]

You've done another stunning job on that one Carl.

I know how hard it is trying to replicate a build from a magazine pic but you have had the added the luxury of speaking to the man himself.

A real 'feel good' build 

[dordymush]

now thats what you call a replica bike 
if you never gonna sell the bike and you wanted it just as he had it then i'd drill it.
if you think you might cash it one day then i'd leave it.
i know it would do my head in not to drill it though

well said Dave ... It is playing on my mind    .. Ill never sell it , but the fact that Scott himself said don't drill it , is also playing on my mind ...  ..

[dordymush]

i know i'd keep looking at it till i bit the bullet and drilled it
