Hi, this week I became the new owner of a Roberts White Spider. I intend to return the bike to regular use as it has been off the road for the last 10 years. I have just taken a couple of pics - and will post some of the bike as collected. All I have done to date is remove some of the...

Lovely to see some of colour schemes for Roberts bikes - as a new owner of an old bike and looking forward to getting it out on the road soon.

Stickers - removal Just to reassure - stickers like Dai Comp - so that the Roberts Logo is clearer.

Roberts White Spider 2 This is as is when collected on Monday evening - I have since removed some of the stickers - the paintwork is immaculate. More pictures to follow.

Roberts - New owner. Hi folks, Its a lovely bike and I am lucky enough to have won the bid on ebay - more to follow. The bike is in the kitchen and it needs some new tyres, apart from that I just can't wait to get out and ride it, in its original condition. Bill

Many thanks - I will get in contact with them. I may have some old bits to get rid of but have yet to sell anything on ebay - once I have made up my mind I will take some pics and get some feedback here first - I don't want to con anyone but we all know how useful other peoples unused bits...

Pink Yes I think grey is going to be the new pink. Its the first time the Stronglight roller bearing headset has been touched in all these years and miles - they are wonderful - ditto the FAG bottom bracket.

Bar width Thank you for your kind words I used to live in London and just wanted a minimal bar - never remembered to get a wider one - my other MTB - not suitable for this forum (Charge Duster 8) has massive bars - I feel so weird in traffic - this just glides where you want it .. and builds...

HobNobs Glad I have got the measure of the group ... HobNobs rule. Bike was a special resold by Brixton Cycles - Reynolds 531 frame I believe it was bought from another co operative - and they resold it - but it was a long time ago _ I just love the bike - hope some history may come to...
