83 Robinson Pro
« on: March 26, 2016, 04:18 PM »
Finally managed to find the frame & fork i had as a kid '83 Robbo Pro'
was over the moon when this popped up a few weeks ago and just had to have it.
It is original chrome & decals (thats an added bonus)

Im quite happy how its turned out but i would like to replace the Suntour stem with a Tuf Neck stem before i hang my tools up once and for all.
Also not to sure to put a padset on it or not, or just a frame pad ?

any way heres a few pics

Great job on a great bike! One of my dream rides bitd and still now. I often think that these (& T/As) get over-blinged out with a red, blue and white colour scheme but this is perfect! :bow:
