Here’s my Chas Roberts, custom built for me in 2000. After my Dad passed away, I thought I’d get a reminder of him, so treated myself! I was measured up and the bike took about 6 weeks to complete. I had 105 kit fitted and originally, it was in Celeste, a bit like Bianchi and the frame is made from Reynolds 725.
I had to have a cable guide replaced, so I decided to change the colour scheme, plus I had carbon forks and an A Head conversion. In 2014, I upgraded the group set to 10 speed 105 and sent from a 53/40 to 52/36 chain rings (old age and knackered knees!)
This is a superb bike, a really good investment. The most comfortable bike I’ve ever ridden. It’s a shame that Chas has hung up his welding torch because this marks the end of an era.
