What size frame is the Robin Hood? I was hoping my Dunelt (21”) was going to be significantly less than the 37lbs it is. I feel like I should strip off the accessories and re weigh it.

both very nice bikes, btw.
 
What size frame is the Robin Hood?

The robin Hood frame measures 18 " from center of crank to the top of the seat post tube. It measures 41" Center to Center of the axles . It's a 26" model with 26 x 1 3/8" Tires . Flat profile Rims ( not raised in the center at all ) . Paint is faded to a "Burnt Orange/Candy Color " Haven't confirmed year yet as I just got it last Sunday. Your Dunelt was the one that made me think of the Robin Hood , It looks to be in Great Shape . Keep the shiny side up ! :grinning:

Nice. Your bike looks to have a TCW rear hub. Those are date coded just like the Sturmey AW. That should bring you within a year of the build date.
