Title: Custom Raleigh Team Aero Pro
Post by: maca on June 10, 2014, 06:43 PM: To start with when I got back into all of this I bought my self a very very tidy Raleigh Andy Ruffell Team Special. Which I was quite hppy with and which I enjoyed on a few ride outs.............. thats when it took hold and I decided I wanted a Team Aero Pro.
Bought a frame and started collecting bits to build a factory spec bike. Any ways I then changed my mind and decided I was going to build a (I hope) spec perfect Andy Ruffell Raleigh Team bike.

So most of the bits I had started to buy found their way on to the Team Special, I kept looking at it thinking it deserves a better frame. So I bought another Aero pro frame but decided to go the custom route this time:

Spec Wise:
Tange Aero Pro Frame & Forks, Tange Aero Pro Bars, Chromed Tange Head set & Lock Nut, Tange Grips, Broken Arrow Stem, Custom Tange SC-2 seat post clamp, original Raleigh Kashimax saddle & guts, Original MX1000 Brakes, DC Cables, Re-pop levers (soon to change), Polished Tange BB, Re-chromed Cr-mo crank, Sugino Chainring & nos sugino bolts, Mirrage powerdisc, Original Tuff II's with alloy hubs. Custom Paint Job, Decals, Pad set and Dust caps.

Hope you like ............ comments good and bad welcome

As has been said already, nice attention to details and great job on the seat clamp too. Loving the Tuff's :smitten:

As for the rake, anyone who's ridden a burner knows they have to be there just so you can sit on one :D
