The basic structure of the Roberts Roughstuff was developed in the 80s as a solution to the ‘just one bike for everything’ conundrum. A long, low-slung, steel randonneur, it is designed for absolute versatility in all weathers, on- or off-road. ‘Each bike reflects the owner’s personality,’ says Roberts, offering various shapes and fittings to suit the individual rider. On this model, the silver strips on the top and down tubes mark the points at which the frame can be taken apart for easier transportation.
