I agree with Rob and Nick , too much rake for my liking especially on a rider Dan

They look nice bars for an earlier build , are they alloy ?

I don't think so Joff, I'm in total agreement with you lads, they're coming off and going on my Diamond Back, which is an 82.

Luckily Lenny has an alternative set for this.

Good ol' Lenny

It's a shame about this build, I had planned to get it ready for July, and take it to Radleigh, where else, the Robinson capital of the UK, and pay homage to Mr Robinson himself, but sadly, the BMX pot is empty, and Amber's Christening, jobs around the house and other things have taken over.

The good news is, I'll still be there, just not on a Robbo. Sorry Carl.

Well, due to some back pay from work, it looks like I'll be riding this at the UK Robinson HQ - Radleigh, so I've ordered:

Seat
Padset
Tyres

And bought some bars off Lenny, Boofy supplied the brake blocks, and the NRP bits from Alan's.

The wheels are intended for my black GT, but will use them on the Robbo as I've decided to go with my original plan of red hubs, so will be on the look out for some of those at MK.

Shaping up nicely dan

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #55 on:** July 02, 2015, 08:23 PM »

I fitted the bars, spider, chainring, crank and BB tonight.

I'm starting to really love this build now.

LOVE IT ... but the DC clamp is too 80s for me

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #57 on:** July 04, 2015, 11:16 AM »

Just the seat to arrive, and the chain to fit, set up the back brake better and we're ready to ride.

That's looking good Dan

pickle · « **Reply #59 on:** July 05, 2015, 09:52 AM »

That looks well nice Dan, maybe because it doesn't have a seat yet but looks quite small?

Looking Sweet as. another great ride in the collection.

I really love your builds Dan. They are built on a budget, but each part really fits in well and complements the others. First class. It looks fantastic

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #68 on:** July 08, 2015, 07:14 AM »

Thanks Andy. I do bounce the idea around in my head about selling a few bikes, and building just one fully loaded, dripping with top end parts, but I love seeing them all together in the man cave, I doubt I could do it.

dancetothedrummersbeat · « **Reply #69 on:** July 08, 2015, 07:30 AM »

The Hutch isn't exactly bargain basement though

Some quality gear on that! They all look great Dan. I look at your builds and generally think there's nothing i would change if i was doing it myself

cracking job dan

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #73 on:** July 17, 2015, 09:55 AM »

Cheers lads.

I know the title of this thread says finished, but this is still ongoing, as I have bought a set of red hubs, to compliment the amazing side shine job that Jay's polisher did on the red rims.

Hopefully this will be my MK rider.

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #74 on:** January 25, 2016, 04:05 PM »

I've got the correct wheels for this now.
