Greetings folks, I have listed on Ebay, for a fellow listmember, a really cool Roberson Frameset. Rob Roberson works for Joe Bell handling the torch work among other things, and is an accomplished 'Master of Metalworking'. The frameset is old enough, as far as I know, to be included in our 'Classic Zone'. In addition many of the classic olde tyme material is used in this framesets makeup....Reynolds 531 tubes, Bocama and Fischer lugs, and Campagnolo drop-outs.

Rob Roberson and Ralph Lowe were mentioned in the May, 2002 Bicycling Mag Editors Choice Award (page 44) article on Joe Bells paint work. The picture shows another of Robersons creations. Here is a great chance to acquire a frameset that all three of these gents had a hand in.
