I need to say thanks to "Another back in Wigan Badbaldie"  for his undercover work in finding this one....I think he needs a career in MI6....Mr Watson... :police:

1983 R Robinson Pro



He is a good egg, our Lennie.  :daumenhoch:

Hi Craig,

I thought they did as one of my Experts was bought from Alan's in 82 and you can tell the holes been drilled by a wiganer with a black N decker

Alan told us many times for every R frame sold he sold three sets of forks. I have all the types they did some sourced separately from the frames at times as these things come together albeit I do have a set of the early thinner ones, I have put these specifically on my youngest's 81 Robbo, her big Sisters ( Tink ) has the fatter ones on her 81.  

The rest of my collection have the fatter ones fitted thankfully.
