Winston said he was pretty sure it was a Phantom and confirmed it as an 89 frame and that he made it. He and his brother are super cool guys and we’re really welcoming and interested. Winston’s workshop is a fascinating place. If you have a dogs Bolx from the early 90s or white spider, Phantom...

During my research I found out that the frame was probably made by Winston Vaz who worked for Chas Roberts back in the day. I was pleasantly surprised to find out he was still in business building beautiful steel frames and not only that, his workshop was less than a mile from my house:) I gave...

I set about researching what it could be and found the link on here to the Roberts Phantom review from 1989 or 1990. The tubing and design were an exact match. The tubes and really ovalised in opposite directions and it seems they’re made from Columbus Max OR which I don’t think had been out for...

A couple more, note the 1989 frame number.

It was £50 for an old Roberts with no stuck post and a Ringle wheel set. The kind of deal that doesn’t come up that often. The seller was an old guy who recommissioned bikes from the tip and police auctions, he knew Roberts were meant to be good but saw this as an old tired mountain bike that...

I was working one august day in 2019 and had some time to kill so did my usual habit of scrolling through Facebook marketplace ads looking for retro gold. I stopped in my tracks when I saw an ad for a ‘man’s bike’ with some poor quality pictures of an old mtb with Roberts on the down tube...

I thought it was about time I made a thread of sorts for my 1989 Roberts Phantom. It must be a pretty rare bike, I think I’ve only seen one other post about a Phantom so hopefully this will be of interest to some. Here it is as it stands today, just needs a Chas Roberts and Columbus decal…..

I found this Greg Fuquay in a job lot of bikes like that. The other three I had to pick up with it went straight to a bike charity. Think I paid £40 for all of them. If uouve got space and a big enough car/van to collect them you can occasionally get some gold amongst the scrap.

£200, can post. I’m driving to lewes in Sussex tonight and Torquay in Devon on Tuesday if you’re that way
