Just ordered a new road frame - really looking forward to the build as it will be my first bespoke. Currently riding a Colnago master which is lovely but just had my De Rosa trashed by some helpful twat who thought it was funny to take a hammer to the top tube whilst locked up outside a cafe in HAMPSTEAD.
well - after an age just got and have built up my Roberts frame, Was told by Chaz it would be a 12 week wait but finally took around 25 weeks BUT has been worth it. Chose the frame to be made from Columbus life tubing throughout - with stainless polished lugs and went for straight polished forks so had Reynolds 953 for them. Had a 6 degree slope put on the top tube to give a bit more stiffness - decked out with Fizik seatpost, saddle (antares) and stem, Campag Neutron wheelset and Centaur running gear
really pleased with finish and glad I went bespoke
changed colours a bit - put black bar tape on (fizik again) and black chainring bolts - looks better
