Sublime details

Beautiful. Chas Roberts deserves to be much better known, he's one of the best artisan frame builders in the world. I think he's the best of the remaining British makers. He's certainly at least the same standard as other top tier builders such as Mercian or Bob Jackson.

I have a Roberts road frame made from Reynolds 853, with the smoothest fillet brazing I've ever seen. It's the lightest, tightest, best handling road bike I've ever ridden. I also have a Roberts track bike from the 80's. I've ridden a few bikes in my time (Pinarello, Ciocc, etc) but I keep coming back to Chas Roberts' frames. Maybe I'll get off my arse and post them here one day.

Nice

The frame is a bit small though...

"The frame is a bit small though..."

That's because, well, I am! Not small, more compact and powerful :)

At least...

you don't have Napoleon syndrome ;>)

He just THOUGHT he ruled the world....I don't think, I DO! :)
