Right - this is somewhat tentative but I am going to list my Roberts track bike as it's not getting the use it should.
Details here: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/253722/#comment11815279
In general it is in excellent condition - there are a couple of small chips to the (amazing metallic sparkle) paint - the chrome is all excellent.
The headset could possibly do with new bearings and the cranks upgrading (they are brand new - but this bike deserves DA or Record)
The rear wheel has a mark on the non-driveside of the rim where a brake has been briefly used on it - but it could easily be touched up.
The saddle has a couple of scuffs and the bars have a little scratching to the tops
It measures 57cm c-c for the top tube and 59cm c-c for the seattube.
The badges just say Columbus - I think this is because Roberts used a variety of tubing depending on location - it is super stiff as it was a sprinters frame.
The fork was drilled when it was built (It would likely have been ridden to the track with wheels in carriers)
£850 collected from Bristol or £550 for the frame, forks and headset.
