Hi,

I am selling this after accepting that it’ll be a while before my 2 year old is able to ride it…
Really nicely put together as you’d expect from Charlie Roberts. Nice drilled lugs with filed tapers, drilled Campagnolo ends and BB shell. Most likely built in late ‘70s (frame number 517). I am not sure about the tubing used but the frame is very light and rides beautifully. The pictures show it with 25mm tyres, there’s plenty of clearance and it originally had 28mm tyres with P-clip mounted mudguards. The paint is a bit rough so it’s an ideal candidate for a respray, but I guess it could be treated to make it better. Correct decals are readily available from H Lloyd, should you need them. No dents, no cracks, everything is straight. 55cm seat tube ctc, 57cm top tube ctc, 13cm head tube. The wheels and headset are not included. I am happy to add a basic headset, Cinelli stem and bars, and some Universal brakes and levers to sweeten the deal if you’d like.
£140 collected from SE or central London, happy to post at cost.
Cheers

No chance of water getting trapped in that BB shell. Some lovely details on this frame though. GLWS

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
