Title: Auburn back on the scene
Post by: midschooljon on May 27, 2013, 12:04 PM: Good to see this legendary brand making a comeback even if it is a small one. I would love a Pro XXL version. :smitten:

Not sure on pricing but at the moment it looks like its just a mini available.

Post by: nosepickben on May 27, 2013, 01:58 PM: Lovely looking bikes. For me, let down by a too-shallow head angle. I wanted one for ages, my mate had one in '91 but rode street on it and cracked the headtube/downtube weld. He sold it to a teenage racer who got it fixed and painted, set it up with pukka parts. Looked ace. BB felt a bit low too and head angle felt about 70degrees !!!
The later auburns looked steeper up front so mabye they changed the head angle over time..??
