I was planning to get a custom built Roberts for my 40th birthday (which is a VERY long time away, by the way!!).

Kirstie said:I have a friend who has two custom built Roberts bikes. With each one he has, at various points, had to have arguments with Chas Roberts to ensure that he got what he wanted, rather than what Chas Roberts thought he should have. My friend has been cycling for years, is very knowledgeable, and definiteyl knows what he wants. I didn't think that was the point of custom made, but with no experience myself, I'm happy to accept that I'm wrong in this one.
