Title: 1985 Robinson Cruiser
Post by: In2bmx on March 30, 2018, 12:50 PM

So, Let’s move onto the second Robinson of the year  ;)
This has just turned up . 1985 Robinson Cruiser. Don’t see many of these as they only used these decals for 2 years 85-86.

Leaving the chrome OG , just might have to change the decals as they are peeling back .  ???

Gonna strip it, clean it up and see how it goes  :daumenhoch:

It's a shame you've had to leap back into action because of what's happened Carl but it's good to see you back on it... very nice mate.  :daumenhoch:

Had a message from a Top RADster  :4_17_5: Glynnyboy  :4_17_5:
He’s been keeping hold of some Robinson cruiser bars for me , unknowingly  ;D ;D

Be nice to keep the OG Powerlite bars with this . But Robbo Cruiser bars are like hens teeth  :smitten:
