Hi..

I have a raleigh aer0 pro burner in the process of being taken to bits and lovingly cleaned and cleaned and cleaned!!!!

This was my bike in 1983 and had been hidden away at parents house. This is my first restoration job!!!

I need to replace a few bits if anyone can help?

1) The brake bolts for by mx 1000's also missing one weinmann adjuster!!!

2) Also need help on advice about restoring Suntour beartrap pedals,this are badly scratched.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been looking at  the site for a while before getting the bike.

The cost seems worth it...looking at some of the resto jobs on here....Just have nt told the wife!!! ::)

There's a thread here for restoring Suntour XC-II's if they are the beartraps you mean:

http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=72550.0

There's also a recent thread in tech and restoration for anodising parts including prices. Most people seem to have painted but I'm sure the original finish is anodising. I think Del on here does decals for the ends of the cages.

That thread is not really representative of restoring some , more like polishing them within an inch of their lives and losing all the OG mould type lines of the bodies !  :LolLolLolLol: . ( no offence ) .

Can you tell I like restos where parts are returned to how they looked before ...........  ;D

I did some last year , look very nice too  ;)
