Wanted: 753 fillet brazed British builder - 56 or 57cm

Hello all,

I passed out early last night and missed a gorgeous black Roberts lugless 56cm frame on eBay that I'd promised myself...

I'm on the hunt for something fillet brazed, British built in reynolds 753 or equivalent, ideally 56cm seat tube c-t-t, or a 57cm would work

Any Chas Roberts or Woodrups about? what awesomeness have you got?

Many thanks in advance,

Matt

nearly had a hetchins - must stay focused!

Bump... Really want a Roberts!

anyone?

no-one?

The Roberts you mentioned is back on ebay again...

Looks like the sale fell through because the buyer didn't realise it has NO derailleur braze on the rear dropout, no bosses for cable adjusters/gear levers or cable stop on the TT.

Lovely frame though!

Cheers, yeah I saw... I offered to match the previous highest bid but then noticed the missing rear mech hanger... I pointed it out to the seller so he amended the listing... real shame... Roberts quoted me £75 for a new dropout + £50 for rear brake cable guides

the hunt continues...

Hi

I've got a Mercian 753 frame I'm not sure of the extract size but I'll measure it over the weekend and let you know.

Would live to see some photos of the Mercian if you get any.. Don't worry Matty for bike porn purposes only...

Cheers dicki - saw that, Hilary Stone has a TT special which is pretty tasty...

Yet to hear back from Robbiebee about the Mercian but I'll keep my fingers crossed!

In the meantime - any fillet brazed 753 frames about?

Matt
