I'm sure I paid waaaaaay too much, but I had to have it. It has one repair where the downtube is cracked at the edge of the gusset. It appears to be an all original complete bike that a bike shop added new Comp 3s to.

Serial # 119241.

I'll post pics later.

Awesome Robinsons...

Did they ever make a gussetted 24" Robinson?

I'll have to slap a chain on mine and post a picture. I've been so lazy since I built it up.

Nice find by the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can never have too many!!!
(if anyone needs the old style decals let me know)
Does anyone want to trade a PK Pipper for one of their Robinsons?

Hey crisco, is that gussett flat, as in not stamped? If so thats a rare bird indeed. looks like there isn't a stamp

Whats the S/N If there isn't a stamp it would be a late 79 ealy 80. The headtube badge is also an indication that it's an early model unless it's been added later.

Very nice find indded.........

SoCal1982, no there never was a gussetted 24" Robinson that I know of.......
DMG
I was inspired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Criscobath
DMG, there is no stamp and the bottom bracket serial # is 119241.

.... and yes, Oakley 3 grips, not Cobra.

You have fo sho a very very nice haul.........Most likely a 1980 but there could have been some of those in late 1979. There is a 1979 in the museum / that has a flat gussett, yours is chrome and I don't thing Chuck robinson went to chrome untill 1980!
Criscobath
Thanks for all the great info, DMG. I'm going to hold on to this sucker for a while. It passed the garage and is inside the house. That says something.
