1999 Robinson SST

1999 Robinson beater I got for $60, and transformed it into what you see. The chrome is 99% condition.

I bought this for $60, completely dirty, with bent wheels and junky parts. I cleaned the frame, and an old buddy of mine who raced for Robinson gave me his NOS Team decals....rarely seen.
This was going to be more of a fun project bike, not a racer, so I went with a combo I'd always wanted on chrome.....red/black w/Skyways. edit - now has the ano red wheelset from a 2009 PK Ripper looptail. Dig it more now!
Frame, forks, bars, stem, headset, and crankset is all original. I added the wheels, Tektro brakes, seat/post/clamp, grips, Beartraps etc.

I just updated the picture, since my M&D Raceday plates came in.

It's not the ABA number I was given, 137, which I have on the Intense.
I just use 57 on show bikes. Not exactly a JT Racing plate, which it's a copy of, but it looks cool, me thinks.

Can't go wrong with black tuff's and red comp's, I love the old school look on the newer bike!

Scored a new anodized red high flange wheelset from a guy with a new SE PK ripper in white/red.

I moved the black Skyways to my Hutch Wind Styler (check out that bike now).

The bike is a little lighter now, and more of a true race bike. I will always know that the 90's Robinsons are some of the best designed cro moly frames ever. This bike has a feel that is just about as close to perfect as it gets. Robinsons are the best kept secret in BMX. Absolutely great feeling bikes!
