Hi,

I am looking at your Roberts Tourer.

I am in the USA.  I am shopping for a bicycle which I am able to use in Asia and Africa on rough, steep, and sandy roads. 

I have some questions for you:

1)  What is the standover height of your bicycle at mid tube?

2)  What is the virtual top tube C to C?

3)  Does your bicycle accept a Thorn Mk5 Lo-Loader front rack with its 6 mm. bolts screwing into the fork?

4)  What is the load-carrying capacity of your Tubus rear rack and of what metal is it made?

5)  What is the gear range of the cassette and the number of gears?

6)  What maximum load does Roberts recommend your bicycle frame to carry on the front and rear racks?

7)  Are you willing to replace the handle bar with a Thorn Comfort MTB bar (645 mm. wide), Ergon GP1-L Anatomic grips, and Thorn-quality brake and shift levers?

8)  What are the number and sizes of your chain rings?

9)  Does your frame accept 2.25 inch tires?

10)  Do your mudguards accept 2.25 inch tires?

Thank you so much for your consideration of these questions.

Sincerely,
sluicing
