This thread is making me regret selling my White Spider many years ago. When I see something about a Roberts there's always a hope in me when I click the link that i'll be mine re-surfacing.
I think it was 1992, but I could be a year out. I did a lot of paper rounds and worked Saturdays in a bike shop to save up. Got the train to Croydon, specified the dimensions I wanted and handed over my cash...
Originally the red, yellow, white colour scheme but re-sprayed in 1994 to a slightly iridescent ice-blue colour, which was what it was when I sold it to fund my way through university. Something I now regret doing.
Some geometry I can remember like the 72 degree head angle / 74 degree seat tube and 16.25 stays.
I think it was 18 inch CtC, and a 23" top tube. 1 1/8 head tube
all cables on the top tube, had the roller for a bottom pull front-mech. Seat clamp was forward facing.
Sadly I don't have the frame number either.
I think the only chance finding it would be it it hadn't been re-sprayed again. If anyone recognises that description i would definitely be interested in buying it back!
