Post by: dirtyvans on October 01, 2006, 09:11 PM: as its a near minty survivor, should i leave it as is or try and get some new stickers for it?, which would make it look a super minty survivor

Post by: se on October 02, 2006, 10:00 PM: what a lovely Burner - better still though, what fine quality decking you have, and some wonderful artistic touches to the rendering on that wall. Ah, another summer gone and my garden is still a mess ::)

Title: Re: Raleigh Aero Pro Race Burner
Post by: dirtyvans on October 03, 2006, 11:24 PM: hey kev
i still love the racing, i'm making a scrap book / photo book up of all my oldskool pics and Petersfield bmx/nbmxa/ukbmx stuff

i'll definitely be racing again esp now got a little nipper, who's already got a nos Bandito mini 8) he's still in newborn nappies though :LolLolLolLol:

but.. still well enjoying the vert, its more of a challenge, its almost as knackering as racing

might be up for a trip to that sheffield track though, best track i've ridden
Title: Re: Raleigh Aero Pro Race Burner
Post by: dirtyvans on October 03, 2006, 11:27 PM: cheers jay, right i'm leaving it as it is :) unrestored survivor 8)

Post by: othomas2 on October 03, 2006, 11:36 PM: Or if you do, perhaps just the fork decals.

Very jealous of your minty raleigh branded kashi. :coolsmiley: It's rare to see the font still on there as much as that.
