A lot of 26” wheeled options for a primarily road bike biased company, they really went for it.

Re:

Just had this link sent to me, David Baker doing trials and coming off his Roberts CR-753 (Peugeot Livery).

Just Brilliant. time 18.07

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcjOtmN ... z5uE-VxuCk

A great Video to watch though, if you look closely, there are an array Overburys including a Pioneer in Riddler paintwork. Also a Bromwich with Campag Euclid.

Theres a Dave Lloyd Chaos Theory Next rider after Baker in the trials. Dave Hemming on his Original White Spider UltraLight with Bontrager forks. Jamie Tatlow abusing a Carbon Formula One...

Great to see all the old bikes and riders.

Brilliant video.

Especially as so many of the Rare bikes displayed in this thread can be seen Racing in this Video.

Re:

Dear me, that’s a beauty. Formula 1 fork there, I had one of those which I came across alongside a Roberts stem, the owner had originally bought a Dogs with the fork and stem, before errr.... ‘upgrading’ to suspension.
First time I’ve seen a picture. Link being of course that Roberts made the steel rear ends of the Formula bikes.

What a great picture that is.

Who would have thought that formula fork would have looked as, at home on that frame as it does.

Some choice parts making up what i would imagine to be a very light bike...!
 
Kevlar Tyres,
Carbon Ti saddle
Carbon Fork,
XTR
Ti Post/Stem.?
Grafton cranks XTR rings
Max/753 Tubes

Id love to weigh this.

Edit..., Actually the exposed Fillet and the whole build just looks right.

I dont think i have seen a bike that ticks so many boxes for me in a long time.
