Anyone in the market for a 52cm Roberts Audax (with the sort of inbuilt higher stack HT)?
I've had a great time razzing around on it for 3.5k miles but it came to me chipped and the sea air isn't do it any favours. Instead of riding the frame into oblivion I think I'm going to move parts to a different frame and try and move the Roberts on to less salty and wet climes. Structurally it's grand but it might be time for some surface level TCL. Basically a little rust around the dropouts, some chips but structurally is ok, it's just that living by the sea and my lack of funds to refurb this means moving it on could keep the frame alive for another 40 years. Pic below when I built it up about a year and a half ago. Would be frame, carbon forks, headset and seatpost (it's 26.8!)
