Title: Another survivor AUBURN cr20r
Post by: waller on February 05, 2014, 05:32 PM
Hi folks this is my auburn its pretty much how  I raced it in 1993
the plan is to probably return it to black which it was when I bought it , and just do a general tidy up as I still want to be able to ride it  :)

James,

5 = May

88 = 1988

0181 = 181st frame made

That is great mate. Auburn were founded in 1988 by Todd Huffman and Bob Morales and you have the 181st frame set to roll off the production line  :4_17_5:

its a RGD which came from custom riders in hitchen (I think )

I was told they were custom made for the shop think some were mono gramed

Thand72 (Trev) doesn't have any gen 1 decals, they are very hard to source to be honest, they will appear soon as a few people are on the look for them.

I am trying to get the artwork to get my own done.
