  So I came across this by chance. I recall trying this strange contraption when it was waiting for pick up at the Gloucester Road workshop. Apparently others were built but we don't know if was at Roberts or elsewhere. Another curiosity seen at Roberts was the one handed cycle - anyone got a snap or know of it's whereabouts?

  A few of the bikes that came on the Roberts history ride Sept 2024. The 1936 Claud dates from the era when Charlie Roberts worked there. The couplings frame and the Dogsbolx are Winston Vaz builds, the green frame is by Phil Maynard and grey bike is an Adrian Parry build. Many thanks to Hackney Peddler for inviting riders to see their exceptional collection of Roberts, and other, frames.

  That's what the Roberts build records say. Geoff Roberts, in Boneshaker magazine, says that when he owned the ex Rob Cooper workshop, and worked alongside Ron, they would help each other out on occasion by building a frame or two that sold under the other builder's name.
