Hi all, not been riding for about 12 months due to my old knees, been getting the bug again and decided to get an old racer just for the "occasional" ride and get fitter. I found this Roberts at Recycles in Surbiton, bit scratched but straight and rides very smooth. Serial number is 984011 so i think it's a 98 frame, 531 Reynolds with Shimano 105 gears, brakes and hubs. Will probably ditch the mudguards when I can figure out how to do it ! and maybe change the stem to a shorter one if any ones got any ideas in that regard. Full service and new Vittorio tyres included for £300. I hadn't even heard of a Roberts bike untill last Friday but very pleased and love the ride!
