Would it have had drums originally?

What’s the deal with the lugged Roy Cottingham frame - listed as a racing mtb - no brake bosses. I’m a sucker for lugs so thinking through brake options

To be fair to the auction house they haven’t said it’s a Team Fat Chance.

Going to be cheap this one……..😉 https://www.easyliveauction.com/catalogue/lot/b71ec6a203b015f69fcc3c8f344fd7db/0af8d24542e81eb9357e7ef448a6646f/general-household-auction-lot-674/

Guessing this is 88/89. More ‘modern geometry’ than the 501/531’s of the mid 80’s, but still lugged and with the three part fork. Surprising as I’d expect it to have been fillet brazed. Wonder what it rides like

Why do they say it’s a ladies bike? What group set is that? See it shows different pedals in different pics.

All great prices. Was tempted by them all - but particularly that monarch and Kili. Was just the drive to collect putting me off and the knowledge that one of you lot will take care of them probably better than me.

As the title really….you know the 89/90 range with the hacienda style race graphics. I’ve seen all the others in the range but never the black conquest. Does one exist?

Google turns up nothing it seems on Robins

Happy to hear this has found a good home. Very similar to my regular ride, an Evans Conqest. There’s something special about riding them. They’ve got a bygone elegance and yet are extremely capable.

I wasn’t sure about the Brooks at first - hated the squeaking but a little bit of wd40 every so often does the trick. Now I love it, nice and comfy. Most of my riding is on hard stuff hence the city jets.

That’ll clean up well enough I’m sure. All looks original except the grips maybe. Here’s your challenge for the weekend...

Just thought I’d share this... It gets ridden every few days cruising up and down the coast. Love it. The 89 Kili hasn’t been out since it arrived in the shed.

Oh forgot these NOS..

Thought it’s high time I shared this for the early Saracen/FW Evans fans...

Apparently the downtube lettering and head tube decal is ‘champion’

These are all the pictures I have. Anyone have any idea what it could be? Kinda got the multicolours of a Yates, the bullmoose of a diamond back, a sprung saddle and a Citroen head badge?? Bits of this, bits of that?

Apparently custom made for its 6ft 6in owner. The extra tube was added to reduce frame flex

Re: Thanks Retrobikeguy. Looks like this one received the XT group. Maybe the grip shifters were a later addition. Any other brands spring to mind who did this?
