Roberts Track frame.

*******NOW SOLD*******

This is exactly the kind of thing I'll regret selling.

Roberts Track Frame, 1985
Number: 85115
Not sure of the tubing - I have a feeling it's Columbus SLX but can't find the email chain from Roberts to confirm.

Resprayed dark metallic burgundy by Mario Vaz in 2013

53 x 53cm centre to centre
100mm front spacing, 120mm rear.
27.2 seat post.
1" threaded fork with flat crown and round track-style blades (crown race now removed)
Campagnolo dropouts.
Cinelli bottom bracket shell.
British threads throughout.

Nice close-clearance track geometry.
Drilled for a front brake but not rear.
Mainly used at Herne Hill as opposed to London streets, it's been sat inside doing nothing for the last couple of years.

There are a few chips in the paint - notably on the headtube where I installed an ergostem badly, and on the drive side seat stay.
Other than that it's all good - straight and true, no dents, good threads, no rust issues etc.

Pick up from Hither Green / Catford, SE6
No postage for now.

I'm after £325 >£315>£300

That is beautiful!

Nice. Mate. Glad it’s too small. Glws

You know you will regret it so why not hide it in the attic/shed for another year? A Christmas present to yourself? Don’t you want to have all three ‘matching’ frames at the same time?

Well, this was always the plan... and it's paying for shiny stuff!

price drop to £315

Pretty sure I saw this at HH.
Amazing classy frame, and sad you're selling it, but it's for a good cause!

You did! Aaaaaah, happy days : )

final price drop to £300 before ebay (after xmas)

Do you still have the cranks? I’m on the hunt for some...

Sorry no - I do still have the chainrings though.

Ooooh man that's soooooo sweet! Bet you can do awesome fixieeee skidz on that.
If only I was way smaller id be all over that like a rash on a whore.

sad times man! you dont want to sell me the road bike back by any chance :)

Hey man, long time no see on here.
If you're serious then drop us a pm, the road bike will actually be for sale in a few months (once I get my grubby mits on the replacement).

Both these Roberts frames made such wonderful bikes I feel completely mad selling them!
But needs must...

Whilst this up, can I politely suggest that you rethink your choice of similes?
There are less offensive ways of saying the same thing.

Bit tasteless!

Last drop before ebay: £300
