I have always loved those old Robinsons...
Very nice...

Now that's a cool blast from the past !

real nice!!

We don't see enough Robinsons. Gorgeous classic!

Wow, that is beautiful. Just the right amounts of blue and red.

I would love to build up an old Robby. They were always one of my favorites.

Campy cranks look the best IMO. I think it the sprockets because there isn't much there.

(note: I goofed on the brake lever and didn't even catch it....gotta put the real Tech 3 on it....LOL)

Yes Tom, Very nice!
(In case I forgot to mention it this past weekend.)

Sweet build on the Pro Robbo

Lovely, u dont see many Robinsons build. So far the best looking one.

Tom, that is sensational...you are constantly building the sort of stuff I really dig! I have been thinking of a Robinson for a while now...but I've been trying to limit new builds (read no extra space)...and those frames seem to be very rare now...I love the gusset's on these..

ps Is this a rider?

SWEEEET!!!!

I just love Robinsons, and yours is one of the best looking bikes out there.
Let's see more, you guys. Here's the one I recently finished:

Exquisite.

Luv that bike, the red one rocks too

very nice bikes. loop tails robbos, you just gotta love 'em.
nice to see beautiful builds without the predictable 401's. those campys are a fine choice.

Great ride!!!!
I love the Campy stuff on Robinsons-here is my bike- a survivor F/F (but not quite as nice as yours!)

Yes, I am really liking the Campy stuff too! This was my first use of Record hubs and I think they look terrific.

And the cranks really are cool.

Drew Monroe came through big time for me on both. Thank you Drew

Hemidart...that is sweet!!!

You guys are killin me, I don't want to build another....I can't... running out of space...dam it if I ever come across 1 of those frames, I know I couldn't resist!!! I've got the perfect campy hubs for the build already!

Nice job guys!

beautiful job! I love it!!

Great bike! 180 mm Campy cranks, yellow label Comp III's, great color combo too.

You're going to have to get me the name of the place that did the stem.

Those cranks really do her up. I was dying to find some for my Champ Pro, but just had to go with the box cranks, natch.

I did manage to put Campy/Titron hubs on there, but I honestly don't know what model they are. Gonna have to ask about that one of these days.

Sick build, Warm.

whooooaaa, i almost missed this thread.

killer builds. gotta love them "R" gussetts

Truely one of the nicest Robinsons i've seen!

keep it warm.... way to rad bro!
