Now we are in the season of long nights, my mind has turned to dreaming of bikes :-)
Let me introduce you to today's pipe dream - the Roberts touring range.
Proper bikes - typically with Reynolds and/or Columbus tubes, which have fitting for pannier racks, mudguards (fenders) etc.
Bit pricey, mind.
But plenty of options to choose from.
That's the thing about a handbuilt bike - you can ask them to make it just the way you want it :-)
Only seen one Roberts in our town (Aylesbury), and that was a while back, but it sure looked nice!

Prices are for frameset only.
So there you have it.
Handmade loveliness for about £1400 ($2240 / 1680 Euros).
Do you believe in Santa Claus?
I suspect I am both rather too old, and I haven't been quite good enough for this Christmas, but, hey, maybe another year :-)
And you?
What are you dreaming of on these long, dark, nights?
