Jimbog’s 92 Roberts D.O.G.S B.O.L.X build

[jimbog]

After waiting eagerly for the postman this morning, my new build project has arrived. Looking forward to getting this one built up so I’m spending some time today digging through my various parts to see what I have and what I will need.
Groupset will be mainly m900 XTR. Other bits to be decided.
Thanks to @AGT for selling

Is that AGT's old frame? Lovely thing if so.

Yes, that’s the one. Should tag him in the post. I was just buying the frame, but had to have the forks also. Good to keep them together.
Lovely bike to get today as I’ve wanted one for years. Could never afford it before. Chuffed.

Put together some bits and bobs for the build this afternoon. Not sure whether to use the Middleburns or polish up the M900 XTR chainset. Any thoughts? Swaying towards middleburns.

Middleburn will look good due to the colour

Fitted a new Tange Seiki Falcon sealed bearing headset this afternoon. Just need to sort out the spacer stack. The original Roberts stem and Reynolds bars are on their way to me later this week.

Agree with you They are lighter also.

I can get your M900 chainset polished and logos added if needed. AGT had them on the build he did. Cost is £60


I’ve also got a very nice -M900 cassette
For sale on here too if you are looking for bits

I’ll decide what I’m doing with the cranks first mate and let you know if interested.
Might have a look at your cassette but I’ve dropped so much ££££ on builds over the last few months. That being said, I don’t want to scrimp on this build as it deserves a decent level of detail/spec.

Yeh let me know mate.

The cranks take around 2 weeks at moment to be done and back to you if you decide. It’s a good cheap way to refresh a pair.

I’ve two cassettes on here. 1 is worthy of your build and 1 is cheap but tatty. Let me know if you fancy either as it deserves the best I think AGT build was lovely
