Title: Wots a Carbospec frame on an Aero Pro Burner then??
Post by: sam hudson on January 20, 2012, 04:27 PM: So I saw this on ebay. I've still got my old 1985 Aero Pro burner and at the time, I knew everything about Team Raleigh...well, maybe I did'nt cos the next year they apparently brought out a Carbospec frame!!

Wots it all about then? :LolLolLolLol:

Aero pro it ain't..

Pretty good frames tbh, not everyones cup of tea, due to being a burner, personally, i'm unbiased to the Notts offerings.

I think, but am not 100% that the carbospec frames were made in Japan. Sure a Burner specialist will be along in a bit.

Aero pro it ain't..

Carbospec steel replaced mild steel that's all and was used on the lower end models.
The last editions of the basic mk1 burners had carbospec tubing then the lowest of the mk2's had carbospec aero tubing.
The aero pro was full chromolly aero tubing.
