So it's with heavy heart and empty bank account that I offer my 70's Roberts TT-Rat
SPLITTING
Frame:
Chas Roberts custom 531 TT frame with campag ends, Cinelli-esque pierced lugs and the most drilliumed BB in all christendom. The fork is not the original, it's made from Columbus SL but has a period correct Cinelli-Crown and campag ends, so it suits the build.
ST: 55cm c-c
TT: 57cm c-c
Wheelbase: 99cm
Wheels: GP4 rims, Zeus hubs, Maillard 700 Compact (14-19) 6-speed freewheel, Zeus QRs with these dinky red rubber "Milremo" sleeves on the levers.
I'll get some more up-to-date pics with the correct wheels (not the Cosmics in the pictures)
Bearings: Standard hipster issue - Hatta Swan (ISO) headset & Tange ISO BB
Chainset: Ofmega fluted (super record copy) 170mm 144bcd with a mega-drillium chainring (52T)
(Single ring cos there's only cable routing for rear mech - TT bike)
Gears: Dura Ace AX rear mech & Campag Record D/T shifters
(Note: AX mech has one tooth missing on one of it's jockey wheels - it makes no difference to function).
Cockpit: 3TTT Competizione TdF Bars - 39cm wide, wrapped in white Deda perforated tape
These are like vintage compacts, they're only 14cm drop.
The stem is a black 120mm ITM stem I got it from Chris Lilliwhite's Raleigh Banana Team Bike
Chair: I'm selling it with the period-correct saddle seatpost combo - SR "Melt forged" seatpost and Selle Italia Turbo (not the HHSB Inline Post/Concor combo).
Brakes: Universal 66 levers with actual original tan gum hoods, Galli Calipers & black cables (of a fashionable length in my opinion)
