I asked Roberts to supply the lightest forks available with curved blades. They chose Tange superlight mountain bike forks. Tange’s lightest rigid fork had butted chromoly blades and very strong investment cast dropouts.

It‘s Pearl white.

I have recently posted a short update on my 1994 Roberts DOGSBOLX owned from new. I have decided to post the full tech sheet list and some new photos. Frame and components. I was measured for the frame by Chas Roberts and he advised having a custom custom handlebar stem made to ensure the best...

I have long legs for my height so an off the peg bike would have a top tube which is too long for me hence going for a custom frame. It rides extremely well. It has a nice rigid frame and steers quickly. Here is the original build sheet written by Chas Roberts who measured me. I wanted them to...

You can always tell if Winston Vaz built your frame as he added a signature feature on the seat tube reinforcement sleeve. He would cut a scallop into the back of it.

This summer I managed to change a few items to get my Roberts DOGSBOLX back to the exact specifications as I built it June 1994 plus one upgrade. If you search my username you will see my previous posts. Over the years my original grey Specialized Umma Gumma tyres rotted away. I managed to...

Andrewl, yes you are spot on with your views. This is the advantage of having a frame made for you and Chas made sure my requirements were met or discussed to offer the best solutions. This bike was to be as light as possible and have everything stripped off it that was not required...

Steve......yes..........lovely picture. I have not seen this one of her before. Years ago I thought she was Mother Nature but revisiting these cartoon strips on the internet corrected my error. Mike

Neil, DB wishbone picture has been added for your enjoyment (incl front brake Ringle Mojo). Mike

Hi, I am new to the forum and thought it was about time I contributed with a piece on my Dogs Bolx. The made to measure frame was built by Chas Roberts and assembled by me in 1994. It still has all of it’s original components (except inner brake and derailleur cables). It was designed to...
