Pro or expert it's one hell of a nice bike mate , those pro bars are the icing on the cake  Im sure Carl or Darren can tell you what it is but you will have to find a tape measure

Very nice Jono, on FB I thought it was black as I couldn't see the pictures very well.

That chrome is fooking beautiful.

Hi Joff.

From my knowledge and collection (and it's not all that reliable most of the time  ) Jono's bike is a Pre size serial ID Robinson and to be honest you know my height I can cruise round on my 18 TT Robbo's no problem. (Jono's is the same TT length as the Expert size)

Early 1st generation Gussett frames say 80 and early 81 don't have any model ID markings E or P found on slightly later frames on the dropout, with the early 80 models the serial is under the BB as Jono's bike and no size ID founded so these are not referred to as Expert or Pro Robinsons.

Personally I have not seen a Pro (P) earlier than an 82 but you never know....

Late 81-83 Experts are the same as the  1980/81 model like Jono's and share an  18" TT length, the Pro Robinsons are 19"

To the best if my knowledge Chuck used different Fabrication  shops to get to build his frames built up and you would be surprised in the differences in design & manufacture changes so there are some differences with frame strengthening braces and fork design evolution.

AW told me there used to be a workshop in Chucks back yard too when they first got involved in 1980 when he first went out there and obviously  the demand grew to having around 6 distributors across the states, Canada, Holland and ... Pie land..  this is when that had the distribution centre set up.

GT were involved in building these frames and earlier than you'd think... 

I could go on

I'm starting to warm to the flat gusset type of Robbo, really nice design.

Daz, I just love the word gusset. 

Seriously, a Robinson is going on the build list after the Hutch I reckon, lovely bikes.

Yep Dan I Agree mate,  your not having any of mine though ...

[Jono]

this has a 17" top tube and serial starts with an A81 serial and has a flat brake bridge if that helps so its not a pro size anyone know what the A stands for

17"     Is that centre of seat tube to the centre of the head stock tube Jono ?

I will have a look at my serial on my 80 today and let you know, I think it's something like 050 from memory..

Haven't a clue on the A prefix ..

Flat brake bridge was correct, is there another flat plate behind the BB ?

Measure from centre of seat tube to centre of the hole for the rear brake for me please..

[Jono]

yep flat behind bb centre to centre 17 knowing me E expert P pro A Amatuer
