Dogs Bolx 17" in black & white inc Roberts fork
- Thread starter jez-4-bikes-max
- Start date
The bi-ovalising of the top and down tubes is clearly visible, and the seat tube appears to be ovalised as it meets the bb shell. All that says Columbus Max OR as stated.
I think Roberts was involved with the pre-production testing of Reynolds 853, but that wouldn't have been any earlier than 1995.

i think you need to read
......ok, if you look at the thread link i have posted closely, its a thread for my own 1993 dogs, including pics and a spec list, there is a link to my lloyd build, on that thread,, and im sure if you read the two, threads you will understand why.....!!!!!!!!!!
As for your link to the roberts website, this is for there current offering of a modern dog bollox, clearly showing the frame with reynolds 853.
the spec list i posted ...see again below, is for the frame jez is selling, and exactly period correct for the frame.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And in my humble opinion a little more exclusive than the modern version....but hey this is only my humble opinion for what its worth....!!!!
I will also confirm, that the frame spec list was not made up in my head by actual fact from the actual catalouge from the period build that came with my 1993 manufactured dogs bollox frame......!!!!!!!!!
I also have the original invoice for the build, confirming this.....!!!!!!
IT was my intention to show just how awesum a frame these are...and the work that went into them, in using such fantastic tubing, certainly not to upset anyone, that have yet to own such an amazing machine.
good luck in the sale, anyone that lands a dogs, will enjoy it......!!!!
Frame specs for 1993 vintage---
Ultra stiff Columbus Max main frame.
Composite rear stays--
---Extra stiff 4130 horseshoe to minimize brake flex
---Silver soldered Reynolds 753 stays
---Columbus SL monostay
---Massive clearances to eliminate mud build up.
---White powdercoat base, finished in D.O.G.S.B.O.L.X team colours.
please read a link properly, before critising it, it may actually be of some use......!!!!!!! :roll: :roll: :roll:
p.s if needed i can search out the catalouge and scan it.......

if that is the evidence you are refering to it is nothing more than a little name dropping and a list of materials that may or may not have been used , do you have a source for the claims in this paragraph please ?
