1994 Chas Roberts Dogs Bolx WARNING PICTURE RICH!!

[Dogsbolx94]

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 be very light and as durable as possible. All the component parts (where possible) are Titanium and all the steel bolts were replaced by SRP Titanium equivalent throughout the bike. All the bearings (except the headrace) are cartridge type including jokey wheels.

considering its 15/16 years old it looks so fresh, almost fashionable? (runs and hides in the shed)
