Budget Elgin Robin

Finally riding a big boys bike
Robins have got to be one of my favourite bicycles. Especially the early ones with the long seat post.

Now I’d never be able to afford a “real” one, and if I spent that kind of money I might be to afraid to ride it. And I want to ride all my bikes!

So, I built a budget one. Sure it’s not a perfect specimen, many parts are not correct and it has a Fibreglass tank and fenders. But it looks the part and I can ride it without fear!

Not quite done, tank straps in particular (if anyone has/can make a set, give me a shout) and I need to refine the fender bolts.

But for now. Ride and enjoy.

Thanks to all the CABERS that sold me parts for this one. Couldn’t have done it without you!

I like the black! Looks great 👍
I've been building my 36 for almost 10 years I think. Definitely a fun project but very time consuming. I just need fender braces for mine. Would you happen to know the length of the front one?
