Soz - didn't see the ampersand and rushed headlong into the rather ravishing thought that there might exist a Stratos White Spider...!

I think several ads that were ran, brought many to the same conclusion, but alas not, there is no such thing as an e-stay named "white spider".

Re:

Found a couple of pics that might be of interest. First looks like a Hardisty built bike for Paul Plunkett and the other is another Yates e-stay. Loving the colours on both

Found it! Roberts 'Corbu', MBUK Vol 3, No. 6, June 1990

Some details:

Thank you for taking the time to post this Roly., I have tried everything to enlarge it so I can read it, but its just getting blurred.

I really like this, (not that im at all influenced by a White Roberts you understand...lol)

But I cant say if its how I remember the Roberts Quicksilver or not, a couple of things have made me pause for thought, I don't remember the head tube, or the internal cable routing being the same as the pictures shown..., this almost looks a bit too trick, or my minds playing tricks again...

Yes its a recent picture taken in the summer .I am the original owner and no way would I ever part with this bike. Most of the bike is how I put it together in spring 1990 the only changes are the wheels and brakes
