Re: Re:
Mike,
when Charlie Roberts (Chas & Geoff's Dad) left Holdsworthy in the mid 1960s to set up on his own, he was friends with the then owner of Geoffrey Butler's (John Pratt). Charlie used GBs"shed"as his workshop for a while as well as building in the basement of his house in Sydenham.
Charlie built frames for Geoffrey Butler, they're aren't super easy to identify though. I used to go past Butler's shop twice a day on my way to school - although my first custom build was a Roberts, I've always had an attachment to GBs - hence acquiring the two Roberts built framesets.
