New Raleigh Team Aero Pro
davemac1974:
It is true that Simon (Project Manager) added another 100 as there just wasn't enough to go round.
I belive that there are currently forty odd unallocated of those 350.
dordymush:
is that going to be it then dave.
there aint gonna be loads of these bikes done after you dont think.
would take all the magic away from having a limited edition.
davemac1974:
As far as we are told (and Simon is a sound guy) that is it for the Team Pro colourway.
As a thank you to Beard and I for helping them they are going to let us design a bike ourselves to hopefully be released for Xmas 07. This will be based on the same frame as the Team Pro. We haven't decided on the design yet, but Beard and I have our thinking caps on ;) We were thinking a run of about 100 for this, to keep it as limited as possible.
It has also been made public in the last couple of days that Boxfresh commsisioned Raleigh to build a bike using that frame for a fashion show in Barcelona to launch their new range, that they could design themselves. We did know about this, but were sworn to secrecy.
Apparently the bike has gone down a storm, and they want some more to display in stores. No word on volumes yet, although 100 has been mentioned, but they will not be available for general sale to the public.
Chrome with black polka dots was the Boxfrsh design:

The Burner world one should be a very limited run of chrome Aero Pro's. That way I could buy another. Now that would be a sure fire winner.

Thats one way of looking at it I suppose! :LolLolLolLol:
Ideally Raleigh could have taken a deposit, but they aren't setup for that, and full payment was the only way that they could guarantee reserving you one.
I have to say that I am amazed at the general good reception Raleigh's planned release of this bike has had on Rad. I expected the odd remark, which is all good fun as always, but the general positive vibes from a lot of you is really cool and has made the fact that Beard and I have been involved with the project feel even more special. Cheers guys :daumenhoch:

I think you guys should be very proud of your achievement with Raleigh, I know that Geth (planting the seed) and Simon (seeing it through) had a lot to do with it but without your input the suits would have screwed it up for sure. It looks a great bike, let's hope it rides well and is a success for Raleigh :daumenhoch:
