1983 Robinson Expert

my ride in 85,and one of the last 'r' gusset

.NOTE; INTERESTING SERIAL NUMBER 12830001,THE FIRST BIKE FROM DECEMBER 83 PRODUCTION,POSSIBLY THE LAST RUN OF THE 'R' GUSSET STYLE?
NOTE;THIS ONES HAS HAD A PARTS CHANGE AROUND INCASE YOU DIDNT RECOGNISE IT!! Back in  may 1985 with the money i got for my 12th birthday i bought an r gusset robinson from a family friend.fastforward 25 years to my 37th birthday and i score another!!having been bitten by the bmx bug again over two years ago it seemed a shame to not grab myself a robbo,after all this hobby is about trying to recreate our childhood  memories so adding a robinson to the collection was a must.this one looks nothing like the one i had as a kid,back then it was a blue anno overload with blue tuffs,this ones had the full bling beauty treatment with no expense spared at all,hope you like it!
