Look nice, do you know what year it is ?

Not sure, haven’t figured out a way to define the year yet… any idea how?

Have you checked the BB shell for the code. My frame number is 930228, I'm reliably told that this means it's the 28th frame made in Feb 1993.

Am guessing mine is 89 then?

If that's the numbering they used, I guess so.

So it was originally blue ?

Yes but not 100% sure it was original paint but roberts did come in this blue, it was in a bad way so decided to go for black and white scheme… as it looks the dogs bolx’s… pun intended haha

I thought these were made with 753? Just noticed the Columbus decals?

Custom bike frames........, made with pretty much whatever you want, a mix of tube brands ..... or what they had lying around at the time.

Majority of spiders were columbus tubesets as far as I know.

I did plan on getting mine resprayed and properly tricked out over last winter but the truth is I have been riding it and actually quite like the lived in look. Maybe next winter. Here's a pic from last weekends ride.
