  • So I bought a Roberts 653 f+f from Hilary Stone recently. Its fairly tatty sort of metallic green coloured. My plan was to build it as a fixed gear winter trainer for the time being.

    I will need to source/ build a WI ENO rear wheel as it has vertical dropouts.

    Currently I'm toying with two ideas.

    1. finish the build with some modern SRAM s500 levers and a front caliper, deda OS bars and stem with a deda converter. It wont look pretty but it will do the job nicely.

    2. source some dura ace 90s levers, caliper, cranks plus Cinelli bar quill stem combo for a largely period correct build that will be aesthetically more pleasing.

    Any thoughts I can't decide.

  • Is this the green Roberts lo pro. Always lusted over that. Especially the forks.
