Cheers, like your bike, what year is it? Also want to lower the stem on mine as feels and looks a bit high.

Cheers thiscocks, yea that's what I was hoping , I don't know much about gearing etc. Will have a look at the chainrings tonight when I take the guards off. Its actually not that hilly, I was in Richmond park and used to go round there with my Fuji track until my knees started playing up. Have to look after them a bit now, the guy who had the bike before must have been a pretty good climber!

Had my first decent ride on the Roberts last night, handles great, much faster and stable into corners than I am. Only drawback I found was the gearing was a bit limited on hills for my unfit old legs and knees! Think it's a 11-22 rear cassette, I'll persevere for now and wait until I'm fitter before changing anything but does any-one know if I can just change the rear cassette or is there more to it?
Cheers Rob

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!

Hi All, became obsessed with cycling last year after catching the Giro on tv, got my first ever road bike at the age of 54! Found single speed not long after and picked up a Langster which I've now sold and have a Fuji track (2010, orange) and love it! Will post photo's soon. Cheers, Rob
Can't put up new posts yet, just wanted to let every-one know there is a 1970's Roberts road bike currently for sale on pre-loved. Complete original bike (56 I think) in good condition reduced from £300 to £200. To big for me but looks good!
