Hi all,
I bought this a while back from Hillary Stone. It is a gorgeous frame but regrettably not quite right for me. I am looking to get what I paid for it, £236 (including postage). Payment will be via bank transfer and collection from Hackney preferred. The alternative is £225 + postage pending payment.
This will make a gorgeous road bike or ss conversion. Details below.
CHAS ROBERTS ROAD FRAME 1988
Seat Tube (ctt): 58cm (23in)
Top Tube (ctc): 56cm (22in)
Rear dropout width: 126mm
Wheel size: 700C
Seatpost size: 27.2mm
Frame Tubing: Reynolds 700
This Chas Roberts road frame for the Ti-Reynolds stand at the 1988. Cologne cycle show and was built from Reynolds 700 tubing with spiral ribs with Cinelli lugs and Cinelli spoiler bottom bracket shell. Chas has sent me an email confirming this history. Because it was a special show frame to show off the new Reynolds tubing I would think it highly likely that Chas himself built this frame. It has been repainted and not used since - the lacquar has yellowed a little especially near the BB. And there are are couple of small scrapes to the paint on the forks. However this is really a rather special frame which will look superb once built up. It would make a very straightforward fixed/singlespeed conversion.
