Roberts Columbus Max track

Cool thanks. It's a great road bike.

I vote for Superbe too.

But got a full GPM track groupset I could be convinced to depart from.
Option of low or high flange hubs

NICE

(Campagnolo for life)

I vote superbe. Can I also get my name of the list for if you ever sell it haha

I also believe superbe would suit this frame superbly (even tho my bikes are #allcampy). :)

Thanks for the offer. I have an almost complete GPM group save a seat post.

So try it out!

Frame just arrived and cannot believe how good it is in the flesh.
It's very difficult to catch the colour but I can only describe it as a "pink /white pearlescent"

So good

Very nice indeed. Looking forward to this build.

woah!! amazing.

also - c-record.

Update from Brian Phillips who worked at Roberts Cycles.
I initially sent Brian a photograph of the frame and Brian has stated -

From the image there, i can see the tubing used is the original Columbus Max with non-max Columbus or Reynolds fork Blades. The bottom bracket shell is a cast steel unit made to accept only Maxed tubing. Fillet brazed/Bronze welded construction.

Brian is also going to see if he holds any further information.

I was watching that too. Glad to see it went to somebody on here. I'd already built it up with suntour superbe pro in my mind. It'll be awesome either way.

(btw - 1st dibs if you sell?)

Thanks. Your dibs will be 3rd in line.

Looking at the frame number and a bit of research it would appear that this frame was made in May 1992 and was the 30th frame produced that year.

This is beautiful mate, very unique. Roberts' filleting was always amazing and this frame certainly does not disappoint. Looking forward to seeing it built up! T

Thanks to @tomsvoboda, @Thrasher, @Lanterne_Rouge & @haveo.

I have tried to photograph the decal colour which is a dark purple colour

I'm going to go for C-Record and see how it goes.

I have a set of small flange C Record wheels currently on my Orrell.

I think the seat post on the left is the best given the tubing -
