Re: Latest purchase - Robinson RSR - Update from Alan Woods

Got a response to my email to Alan Woods on this RSR....

"Hi

Nice find!

We did sell a lot to one shop in Preston, cant remember the name, the guy used to be a manager at Halfords.

Yes the bike looks 100% original. They are the best we used on some of them they werent genuine Robinson but we use them when the Robinson ones ran out.

Stickers I only have one set that I need for mine, but as yours are intact you could have repros made, guys on radbmx will be able to advice.

Regards

Alan"

So, looks like the bars are original from purchase so the bike is a 100% original survivor  :daumenhoch:

All I need is to get the decals reproduced although I might need some help with this bit  :LolLolLolLol:

PM'd Del to see if he can sort the decals, fingers crossed  ;).  Going to strip it down this week with a view to getting the rims re-chromed first and the other parts cleaned up  :coolsmiley:.
