OMG...

Priceless.....

F++K....for me this is like finding the missing piece of a puzzle, only its more than that, like finding an extra piece....

some of the details are stunning, the dropouts for example....

Im sat here with my mouth open,...
 
only it may be number five here, but two 2 in the Galaxy...?
 
Im trying to sum this up in my head, it we were in America right now, and we were sat looking at an American Builder, I would liken this to finding a Cunningham, only one that we didn't think existed anymore.
 
I am right in thinking you knew of 4 others including the one you own (I'm normally on here in the middle of the night when I can't sleep and I could have missed read some of the posts lol) I will try and find some old photos of it when I first set it up and with a bit of luck 1 with another Roberts
 
Bet your glad I didn't get a Dave Yates it was a toss up between Dave and Chas as to who I would have gone to until one day a friend asked me if I would take one of there friends out mountain biking who was coming up from London to stay with them.I was riding a Ridgeback 604 at the time (one of the first production bikes to be fitted with Deore XT at that time I think) and he turned up with a Roberts lol so that was it I had to get one
