Any more pics of the 'Roberts'? Is postage out of the question?

Sorry to have kept you waiting :)

Rourke sold pending payment.

I will take some more in a bit, and post them later.

Posting not entirely out of the question.

The bottom bracket grooves on the Rourke look like SBDU. Is the number visible?

The number is visible: SB945

Yes, should have mentioned that.

I'm selling off some stuff to create some room - so that I can buy some more stuff.

First up is a NOS Gazelle 'Race' Frame and Fork

Usual Gazelle quality and attention to detail, this frame is made for Reynolds 525.

It has braze-on barrel adjusters for Ergo levers, but has horizontal dropouts, so could (heaven forbid), be set up as a fixed. It also has internal cable routing through the top tube.

Top Tube 57cm ctc

I would like £195.00, collection only from Greenwich SE10

NOW JUST £175.00

NOW A GIVEAWAY AT £165.00

Next up, a 55cm Brian Rourke

I bought this from the Forums very own Dusty Rumble. It is a beautiful, classically styled frame but sadly a bit too small for me.

It has recently been re-sprayed and has not been built up since - so looks really nice and fresh.

Doug reckons it's actually a Raleigh frame from the SBDU. Whoever built it clearly knew what they were doing, as the finish and detailing are superb.

Top Tube 56.5cm ctc

I would like £150.00 for this frame.

Collection only from Greenwich, SE10

Finally (for now), 59cm 'Roberts'

I bought this frame from eBay, and have had it kicking around the shed for ages. I am not 100% sure of its provenance, hence I have put the makers name in inverted comma's. All the other Roberts frames I have owned have had some kind of engraved detailing, whereas this frame has none.

This is however a very nicely built (and properly man-sized) frame. The fast-back seat stays are a particularly nice feature.

Sale is for frame fork and Campagnolo Headset only.

Happy days!

Can't believe this isn't finished yet.

Do you need me to pop round with my spanners?:)

Do yourself a favour - get a Royce Bottom Bracket - expensive, but worth it.

Dan. You are mental. (In a nice way) :)

Finished a quick and dirty build of the Vern'.

There will be updates, in particular some lovely Ambrosio hubs and Red Excellence rims that are currently being built.

I also need to tinker with the shifting a little, as it wasn't as precise as I would expect from such a high end group.

The ride however, was amazing.

Even I was surprised to find that one - God knows where I got it from!

Love that Benotto - looks like proper man size too.

Just been having a play with the Vernon:

^YOU BASTARD! I was hoping it wouldn't sell but it went for the asking price. Collection only made it much less appealing :(

It is a fantastic frame, well jell, and look forward to the build! :p

I asked him nicely, and he popped it in the post!

Turns out he's a mate of Vernon's. Cannot wait to get this on the road.

Took a punt on a not very well listed frame on eBay.

I am now the proud owner of this:

Paint and chrome are in very good condition.

This is an amazing looking frame that's just well, 'badass'...........

Tried to order some bits from the 'post-Will' Hub Jub yesterday, but the online ordering system didn't like the look of my Credit Card.

Spoke to a fine young Welshman today, and all was sorted in a Jiffy.

The traditional Hub Jub high standard of customer service is alive and well.

Now somewhat regret posting the above, as my goods have still yet to arrive.

I know Wales is a bit 'third world', but surely they have Post Offices?

OK, dibs, PM on way

It always costs more than planned!

It's about half an hour away from being finished. Spent most of Sunday pissing about with 'other projects'.

Will do my best to get it done at the weekend.

Farewell my lovely, see you in 8 weeks...

^That's amazing.

Saw the Plume (not pictured) last night.

It is truly a thing of great beauty. £125.00 is giving it away.

Need to get some wheels built, so going to check on sizing tonight, but think they will be 27".

^ Love the idea of this, or maybe a South London builders ride?

Might be able to help with this.

Will send PM.
