cheers for the post - frame looks really nice
I'm not sure about serial numbers etc... maybe try ringing roberts?
there's some more info in the Roberts owners thread - http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/206627/?offset=150 -
Looks like a Roberts to me... Both of mine have the embossed R brake bridge exactly like that.

Hi All
I'm wondering if this is a Roberts...serial nos starts 88 ..1988?
Pearlescent white no decals, Cinelli BB, stems....smooth gorgeous "lugless" curved tube intersects..R embossed on the rear stay(..clue in the title).
Just pulled this frame out of the cellar..ended up there after someone nicked the back wheel back around 2009. Shimano Groupset.
Took me a year plus of looking for a pair of Sante hubs...and similar to find a secondhand Sante Crankset..
Got it around 2006 off the original owner, who said he paid £1500.00 new!! I was embarrassed and pleased at the price I bought it for..
Had no idea other than it was light and I was pleased...only realised what I had when I tried to locate the wheels and crankset.
Now how to go about restoring it??..the paintwork has chips but that's to be expected..carefully patch the chips?..is this straying into the realms of science fiction?
But mainly wondering if folks can confirm it's a Roberts frame.
