Hi Eric,

The descriptiopn says; snip, All original equipment, complete Campagnolo Nouvo / Super Record group including pedals and toeclips except for headset which is a black anodised Tange model. The original Campagnolo headset....snip,

but, I see several strange things. Especially the Campy crank arms. The set has holes for the third ring (triple for touring bike as Paramount P-15?), and braze on screw eyelet on rear stays for rack?

As for frame, how do you kbow the head and seat tube angle? They look really relaxed (flat) down to 69 to 71' angle rather than 73' but I can not tell from the angle of photos.

But, I agree. Roberts is one of finest British classic, I have two. Ome is bright yellow-small 19-1/2" but 104cm long wheel base, and the other is red color with 99cm wheel base although 21" size. I like short wheel base for "quick" short rides.
