were gt and robinson affiliated in the early days??i am thinking not until 89 or something??just having a bmx discussion and figured ask the experts.these 2 ride completly different,i am more comfortable on the gt but the robinson seems to turn a little faster and feels a little taller in the bb area... great bikes i love them ......

According to 23mag GT bought Robinson (or something similar) in 1987. Link Thingy

thanks for the link,good stuff.now what was the robinson history.were they california based??same with powerlite, were they from cali??

both from socal

Off the top of my head, Robinson was made by a few different frame makers from 78-83 ish..after that Gt started making the Robinson frames and then when Chuck Robinson died in '83 or 84 it coasted for a while before GT bought Robinson out, GT kept making them and kept the Robinson name.

I have *always* like the early Robinsons. Very rare down here in New Zealand. In fact, I've never seen on in real life.
