For me its the other way round, the MK1 can be forgiven due to the early stage of BMX and Raleigh's first attempt, the MK2 should've been where they corrected all the original design issues and even copied the Tange geometry? But instead they fooked it up again and for that reason I think its one of the worst things made in BMX

true in a sense . the mk 2 was terrible to ride but 25.4 seatposts and single gussets always look wrong and were well phased out in the industry by the time the mk1 came out . shame raleigh was ran by sturmey archer who got famous from a hub designed in 1915 where their thinking stayed.

As it's not a Burner bashing thread I will just add that you all seem to have forgotten the Tange made Cromo Burner which was out at the time the Aero Pro appeared. Before I get flamed I am only speaking from memory though as I recall the first time my brother and I first set eyes on the beautiful Aero Pro and it's down-specked younger sibling at the same time Which my parents bought for him for cChristmas (the Chromo not the Aero - it was £180 vs £250 and nobody had a £250 bike where we lived!)
It's the only oldschool bike he took to Australia with him as the lucky sod still has it now. When he put it in the container to ship it he told the packing company it was his most prized possession after his kids and wife........ :shocked:
Oh, with a gun to my head I would choose blue and yellow as the red is terrible :2funny:
meticulous:
blue and yellow for me, I likes the way the rivers ripples reflected the two colours on the top of the water as it lay 4 feet under.....
