Roberts 650b

Frame/fork/fenders/front rack/wheels/bottom bracket/headset 55cm

$850 plus shipping and fees.

I never fully completed the bike. Divorce and tuition for two kids forces sale.

See bike here. https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...ts-nude-3.html. Pretty good info.

Beautiful bike and excellent color choice! I've always thought having a Roberts would be cool to match my first name and town I live in. Tempting if I could liquidate some of my inventory.........

Let me put a tape on it today. I truly haven't measured it in a few years was just going off memory, which isn't very good these days lol

Sorry about the sale, did you have the rear stays dimpled for more tire clearance. Thinking about 650ing my Charlie Roberts touring bike, but it won’t take 42 w/o deeper dimples.
Best
