Is this a special Aero Pro?
winnit93:
for the record ive just sold one the same as that,althought the one i had was mint and 100% original parts.
i had rad members offering me money left right and centre.most offering around the £100 mark.turns out that that burner is very rare indeed,a very special bike in the eyes of burner fans.
i sold mine for £600 just last week.
dont let it go and dont let anyone try and scam you like they did with me!

i think that comment is a little harsh, a bike is only worth wot someone is prepared to pay for it. your bike albeit a very very nice one, and being the same spec and frame as an aero pro in my eyes is not an aero pro, its a late version of an aero pro, because of the pro race decals. easily rectified by a repro decal set. Its raleigh's attempt at bringing out a new model with "OLD" parts nothing special at all.
saying that i would have still bought it, £600 IMVHO was way too much, and i own one of these pro race aero pros too. (paid £250 for mine, but not mint). I've owned 6 aero pro's so far and never paid anywhere near £600 for one. and i have owned at least 2 original component minters.
if someone puts a max bid of £100 on ebay that doesnt mean they are scamming you, it means thats all they are prepared to pay. So someone offering the same on here means the same not a rip off.
sorry to rant but i think a scam comment was not required.

Thanks for the info, Jeez £600 for a burner!
Unfortunately I dont think he'll sell, he just asked what it actually was but i didnt know. BITD he bought my original aero pro off me, so he picked it up for nostalgic reasons. If I told you what he paid for it you'd all feel sick.
If he sells it I'll be sure to make sure he joins here and give you lot first dib dobs.
