Post by: Bob_Acid on July 10, 2006, 10:17 PM: it looks like a near complete Aero pro. I love to see these rusty old mlngers, it's a reminder how old the metal we ride really is :daumenhoch:

Quality, i hope you can restore it Bob ;)

It's not going to be cheap to do it so if you want what it's worth stick it on ebay but i doubt you'll get three figures although the burner boys are a funny lot so you never know.

Post by: Bob_Acid on July 10, 2006, 10:28 PM: The Quicksilver badges are something else though? They are an Aussie MF that probably used the same stock as Raleigh. Seems weird if it's a bike in the UK and not something i've seen before so i'd try and salvage the stickers if you can, take plenty of photos of it and have a word with the Aussie crew for details because it's a rarity for sure in the UK.

PM coastvl on here he's the resident Aussie know it all, he can probably help.

Post by: Coastvl on July 11, 2006, 08:10 AM: The Quicksilver stickers are a surf company based down under, not the Quicksilver BMX we also have. Two completely different companies. The frame is a tange aero frame sold as a million different frames around the world. I have a 16" version as my sons rider.

Post by: oberonspacefruit on July 11, 2006, 08:17 AM: yeah, you can buy similar quicksilver decals at most vw events, theyre surf, not bmx. probably stuck on to brighten it up when the originals were shagged.

i will be pleased if i am wrong tho, and youve found some rare aussie version.
