Dear Crankwood
As no-one seems to have responded to you, I thought I'd better. Particularly as A)Roberts' bikes are highly thought of here and B)We're supposed to be the friendliest forum on the internet.Sad to hear about your uncle, part of my family are going through similar things right now.
What would you like to know about the bike? It looks excellent. Roberts would have asked something in the region of £500-£1000 just for the frame if built in the last ten years. As it's a 'loop' frame (i.e. what many might call a 'ladies'' frame) it may have less of a pull for selling on in places like this forum, if that's your plan. Since loops are great for older riders whatever their sex, and those with more limited flexibility or mobility, it may be that an accessible cycling organisation like wheels for wellbeing could really use a donation of a bike like this, or you could offer it at the CTC forum where there are lots of older riders who would appreciate what this bike is built for and it's value.
Best wishes to uncle and family to remain as happy and dignified as possible whilst coping with this debilitating condition.

Can anyone tell me anything about this bike please?
It is my uncles bike and he has just been taken into care with Dementia. He has ridden all over the world and only stopped recently when he became ill. I suspect that he would have had this made when he became too old to climb on to his old Peugeot.
The frame number is 010718.
