Likewise sorry we didn't get the chance to chat - had to dash off to be a parent.
Think you had a chat with my mate Jonathon early on, with his new /my old Roberts.
Given it was a bit of an esoteric meet up, and I am basically a miserableist, it was pretty amazing how many of the gathering I have met at some point.
On my left, in the 'photo above is a guy called Geoff, who I have met twice before; once at a train station in South West London, when I bought a Paris Galibier from him, and secondly in the Pizza place in Gaiole after L'eroica.
Brian, the former Roberts mechanic, turned up on my doorstep one night when I bought a Roughstuff off him without knowing who he was.
There was also a chap there that I have only spoken to briefly once before, when I commented on his Roberts outside my local branch of Waitrose.
Small world.

Brilliant hearing some of the stories behind the shop / builds - with most still having a hand in the industry in some way.
Also really enjoyed seeing such a variety of beautiful frames (from tourers, mountain bikes, and lo-pros) all to come out of the the same workshop.
I did get a couple of crummy phone pics:
nice to meet you @spudger - are you not a little tempted to buy it :) ?
and sorry I didn't have chance to say hi @Jingle_Jangle - I had to dash off.
