Roberts road bike frame and fork
Serial number says 1988
Toptube 56.5ctc, Seat tube 57.5ctc.
Unsure of steel as there are no decals but it's pretty light (especially compared to my 531's) so guessing it's something higher end.
Has the very pretty and relatively rare spoiler-type Cinelli BB shell
Matching serial number forks with "R" panto'd on the crowns
Paint is an unusual purple to white fade. It has seen better days but still functional and very much up to serving its purpose
Frame is straight, no cracks, no bends, no dents.
Seat tube is 27.2mm, all threads as they should be.

SOLD£300...275..250..230..220 please
Thanks. TomSOLD

I had a Chas with that Lilac fade paintjob (Im not f*****g saying Colorway!). Its absolutely stunning in the flesh.

Was slightly too small for me sadly.

Looks like you're holding the fork up with your foot. And you've got an ostrich helping with the camerawork.

Another nice one Tom!

@velosaurus thanks man it really is different from most paint jobs you see these days and the fades are spot on.
@psg1ben haha what you see you cannot unsee ;) That was me trying to push one of the cats away, they're too inquisitve!
@sacredhart thanks buddy, appreciated. Got a stunning metallic blue Roberts that I polished up today but not sure it's time to let that one go..

@tomsvoboda is it my size? 55 square ish?

Hey man. Think it's 57cm sq from memory. T

Damn, I think I’ve grown as much as I can now.

Top seller bump to all looking at this thread.

Ah shame mate, I'd have some nice frames for you otherwise ;) Much appreciated and if I ever decide to sell my 55cm 3Rensho roadie with an up and coming S75 road GS then I'll give you a shout ;) T

Price drop. Up to London next weekend if that helps anyone :) T

PMd

Final price bump before eBay with boss only inflated price ;)
Cheers. T

Price bump. I am moving to Portsmouth this weekend so price drop in the hope that I don’t have to take it with me. Can pack and post ASAP. Bumping a few other frames too so check em out. Thanks. T

That is soooooooo sic.
If only I wasn't so tall.
Glws.

Final price drop before fleabay. Also moved so collection form Portsmouth. Thanks. T

That is a mad bargain.

Is no-one buying nice frames anymore?

Cheers mate, aye I thought so too. It’ll be on the bay this weekend at a largely inflated price ;)! T

Awesome. I can’t have it though. GLWS

The paint job reminds me of those time trialling frames in the heyday of craftsman made steelies. Very nice thing. I could just see that with a gopping single ring. Are Cinelli spoiler BB's pretty rare?

Cheers mate. It really is a beautifully made, number matching piece of kit. Paint isn't too bad either ;)
I think they're quite rare, I've not seen them about much and they were only put onto high end frames. Chas had a thing in the 80's of mixing British and Italian steels and bits. I've got an 80's Roberts track frame with Cinelli and Campag parts but made from Reynolds steel.
Off to the bay today if there are no takers. Cheers. T
