As I seem to have a few builds stalled at the moment (I seem to find loads of stuck seatposts!), I thought posting one here might spur me on. Plus I hope this will be a fairly simple T-cut, polish and replacement of a few more common parts, so shouldn't be too time-consuming.
I always recall Roberts, Yates and Lloyd as the three 'name' bespoke builders back when I was first into cycling. One was still missing from the garage, so when this popped up on eBay I did a quick deal. Picked up yesterday so current state reflected in the pictures.
LL91 xxxx frame number and mainly Deore II or DX parts. Mavic 261cd rims. Needs shifters, sadldle, bar, canti's (these are 'Versa C5'?), less rusty stem and a good clean and possibly new decals! One annoying dent in the top tube but this is hidden under the cable runs, and the paint helps disguise it further. A lot of tyre rub on inside chainstays, I hope the rust and grease aren't hiding anything.
I love the salsa jellybean-like paint. Looks like almost pearl white with hand applied brushed blue and red swipes of paint.
531 All Terrain, so I think the bottom-range frame, but most of the details are similar to the 753 build on here (Giom6).
Very pleased to find this.
