HISTORY
Roberts Cycles is a custom bicycle frame building business that was originally located in Selhurst near Croydon, South London, and is now located in Poole, England.
The business began soon after World War II when Charles (Charlie) Benjamin Roberts worked as a frame-builder for Holdsworth, Claud Butler, and Freddie Grubb.
In the 1960s, Charlie founded Roberts Cycles at the family home in Sydenham. He was later joined in the workshop by his oldest son Chas, and then by his youngest son Geoff. In 1979, Charlie Roberts died unexpectedly, and Chas took over the management of the business. By then, the business had moved from Sydenham to Anerley, South London. Chas was joined by his brother Geoff and Derek Bailey, who continued to build frames.
The shop at Gloucester Road, Croydon, was closed at the end of May 2015, and Charles Roberts left the business. Roberts Cycles then relocated to the Sussex coast, where Geoff Roberts continues the family business, building and repairing frames.
Production was limited to 100 steel frames per year, and each was made in a bespoke manner to the customer's dimensions, mass, and equipment specification requirements. A mixture of Reynolds and Columbus tubing was used in construction, all of which was completed in-house. Painting was originally done in-house but was later outsourced and completed to a high standard.
The range includes bicycles built specifically for competition (road race, track), recreational (tandems, tricycles, mountain bikes, touring), and more. Bicycles bearing the name Roberts are all handmade in Sussex by Geoff Roberts using steel tube sets. Complete bicycles or frames can be built to customer specifications and the exact specific requirements of the customer.
