Nice ride Mr K, could see that in a plain gloss black looking very fast......

 

[BoyBurning]

Not usually a fan of e-stays but that is absolutely stonking kid! Very very nioce...

You thinking of keeping the forks as are, or spraying them to match the frame (when finances permit!)

 

[felixdelrio]

What's in a name?

Only very recently discovered this small ad in an 1989 MBUK - now my Roberts has a name - it's a 'Stratos'!

I suspect mine is an earlier 1989 incarnation having Track 2s as standard fit, not the curved (suspect Ritchey Logic) forks in the ad.

Sticking with the original paint - it grew on me(!), I'm about to fit some RC35s - as it's a bit too rigid come summertime....

Glad your sticking with the original paint, very classy me thinks. Infact that's got to be one of the nicest looking e-stays I've ever seen. Normally I find them a bit ugly-bugly, but that's very sleek
