Roberts 1994 Argos Respray Frame & Record Titanium Group

[Hunterlar]

Hey guys, long time lurker but just finished this project and would like to share this with you. Enjoy!


Frameset

The Red Roberts has come back from Argos in beautiful shape. The guys did a fantastic job and all in the space of around 5-6 weeks. I asked for pearl white with ice blue fade on the sides (£140+£45). Old style Roberts decals and Headbadge fitted (£52) and a new Campagnolo Record headset fitted (£75). Couple of dents needed filling in too (£10). The results:

Shifters

Campagnolo Record 9 Speed Shifters 1998

Rare as I think they only made these for one year. Opted for these instead of the 'period correct' Campagnolo Carbon Record Shifters 1999 as they look more apt for the classic touch I am trying to convey. Not sure whether I should keep the black hoods or get them changed to white. They are in good condition apart from some minor scrapes to the sides.

I think I am definitely over a grand, thinking about it. But it's been worth it. Anyway a final important part arrived today.
