Title: What do you think on this?
Post by: Taipan on August 24, 2016, 12:33 PM: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MK-2-Raleigh-Super-Tuff-Burner-/262579143748?hash=item3d22efc444:g:FY8AAOSw65FXsex5

Seen this for sale and although it looks a real nice build do you think it will actually sell in the end? Its already at a good price but my thoughts are it'll be relisted due to ebay time wasters plus There have been some cracking complete's for sale on there and here for that matter that just haven't sold? ???

It's the rare or iconic stuff as always that demands the higher prices .. I'd rather have an AP.. For a little bit more but everyone's different :daumenhoch:

Pretty much an exact replica and spec of the one I sold last year for £425. I built an Aero Pro for £129 more than this guys asking, and that was including Pro Class rims and a NOS Suntour stem and clamp.

Sorry
