this bike has been doing my head in...nearly sold it but persevered...finally after about 6 attempts using all sorts of different stuff, i ended up with something like how i remember them looking back in the day...think the 1.5's on 1.75's look just right

it's the most iconic (real world) bike for me back in the day, as a couple of lads who had them near me rode em for alans, .....jason ramsden, chris dyson etc.... dont know if they were any good on a national level, but they had all the gear and i was a jealous kid

Loverley that JT, I had one BITD, if it was mind i'd get ride of those white hubs for some red anno'd ones, apart from that, de-lish-ous! Needs a plate as well. Oh, BTW, I have a BRAND NEW 83 Go Pro adult medium Robinson jersey on ebay rigjht now, absolutely era correct for that bike.

For me, when I was a kid, Robinson and Patterson were 'the' race bikes to have.

there odd thats for sure, but you get used to em...gives much needed length on what is a very short bike!

not sure how strong they are...15 stone, no technique or skill, nice big table top?

i'll be low riding in seconds

Superb. Even with the blue parts it looked great, think this is just about spot on.
Looks fast stood still.LOL.
