New Raleigh Aero spotted in local bike shop

<< < (5/6) > >>

davemac1974:
It was all in the cost really. Raleigh commissioned new toolings for the stem and grips, and that cost a fortune...we've seen the figures!  :shocked:

If they had done the same for the brakes or seat etc, the price would have rocketed past the £250 that some people have said is too expensive anyway. People forget that only 450 were made, so there wasn't many pieces for them to get their investment back. The truth is that some of the parts had to be sourced from the catalogues from the big manufacturers. Some parts were pretty much spot on (like the seat clamp), others we had to pick the best option available.

Raleigh are actually letting Beard and I design a bike of our own based on the frame from the 25th Anni Team Pro...this will be limited even further, and will hopefully be out early 2008  8)

theRuler:
that new burner frame is pretty good
the old aero pro was good too, except for the pathetic rear dropouts

the new one could do with canti lugs though, and a 1 1/8" headtube ;)

Lets be fair great Frame and wheels but corners have to be cut to make them affordable . White Skyway pads are £15 quid each , as for a true retro crank these can be very expensive . Personally can't wait to get mine and start specing it up Total respect to Raleigh for Doin it  !!!! .  :daumenhoch:
