I built up a.Rourke frame for a guy, it was 25inch and beautifully crafted. I can understand why you would buy it. I went out on my Raleigh SPD 853 tonight, nothing like a good steel frame.

Have a look here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberts_Cycles My Roberts is a 1982 with Anerley address. Sydenham was before that. According to the wikipedia entry, post 83 Roberts were at Gloucester road when your frame was built.

Columbus SL. Nutted brakes but could be drilled for recessed allen key nuts, 68mm BSA BB shell, rear spacing 126mm OLD

Thanks 2manyoranges. I have the TRP Spire carbon brakes. I have had Ultegra hydraulic brakes which were really good, but wanted to keep it easy to assemble and maintain and the cost of shifters for rim brakes is significantly less. I have used Juin Tech hydraulic calipers with success. I have...

The centre of the crank axle to the top of the seat tube is 21 1/8 inch and almost 54cm. The top tube length is also 21inch centre to centre. The angle...

Frame number is 8229. The frame belonged to the time keeper of a local cycling club and was used for time trials. It is a quality lightweight steel, lugged frame with double butted tube, but I cannot guarantee what tubing it is made from. From the frame number i believe it to be a 1982 frame...

I have a Carradice longflap bag which is 24l with pockets both ends. It is in good condition, as far as I know it has not been used looking at the straps condition. If this is of interest I can take some pics and send to you...
