Its all kicking off on the Burner Web Site, there going to bring out a Team Aero Pro In the summer, Check it out :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
http://www.burnerworld.co.uk/2007AP.htm
Must admit got a bit of a semi myself :LolLolLolLol:
-
wind up ?
-
No its not dude its the real deal they have been planning it for months, well so they say ;) ;)
-
wind up ?
:2funny: :LolLolLolLol: ;D
-
No fear... its no wind up... Burnerworld should know.. we lent them a couple of Aero Pro frames to work off..
25th Anniversary Burner....
The pic is only a 'drawing'... it does look a little new school in places... but they are building a 99.9% replica of the original Team Aero Pro.. :coolsmiley:
-
but tange arent making bikes any more theyre gonnn be way outta their depths here :LolLolLolLol:

Lets hold off the judgement till the bikes are built... its not 1982 anymore... ::)
-
The Taiwanese can copy anything....lets just hope they don't stick an a-head stem and v-brakes on it like the Mk3 Chopper. :uglystupid2:
-
Oooooooohhhhh!!!! Cant wait :daumenhoch:
-
Oooooooohhhhh!!!! Cant wait :daumenhoch:
Thats the spirit..! ;) Will put your name down on the reserve list... :-X
-
This is quite exciting really, no i am not being funny either. With the recent retro products (rubbish) that is being brought, out this is just the thing needed, i recon it will sell well too, not so sure about the tuffs though.

So exactly what other stem would you put on it then? It's 2006 ffs! lets face it.....1 1/8th ahead is far better and more reliable than an old quill type.
I think it looks the dogs! any idea on a price? ball park??
-
whoa that does look nice !
well as long as they follow redline and not mongoose on this retro model
it should be pretty good
fingers crossed
-
Price is proposed at £249.99... :coolsmiley:
They will be limited to 500 only.. but there will also be a Burnerworld LIMITED EDITION run of 200 (spec/design not confirmed yet).
Myself & DaveMac have been working with Raleigh on this bike and we are hoping to see the prototype in the flesh before the design team break for Christmas.
-
Only 500!!!! Think there will be a scramble for these and only £249 ???

I think the tuffs will be spot on and will give it more of that retro feel. :) :)

Good work Beardy! keep us posted! and any piccies don't forget to let ius see em! :daumenhoch:

Not if you wanna race it, ooh i can just see it now Burners on the gate again SUPERB!!!!! 8)
-
I quite like that...always liked the paint job on those team burners. Nice work burner boys for making it happen!
:daumenhoch:
-
I'll have one deffo
-
Any ideas if the frame is going to be 100% Chromoly ?
-
I hope it comes with ally wheels & not Tuffs :(
-
Gotta say it does look a bit nice.
Might even get one of those me'sen, to add to the Haro Freestyler when it comes out.
What other retro bikes are awaiting in the wings?
-
If there really is a 'reserve list' I wanna be on it Beardy :daumenhoch:
-
Buy it and lose the tuffs and upgrade the other bits if needed, will be well cool 8)

Steady on pickle....that's my opinion and I'm entitled to it!!
The Mk 3 Chopper looks shite with an A-head and V brakes.....I think a 'retro' bike should be just that 'retro'. Sticking an a-head on it will make it look like any other new school bike just with a different paint scheme and we can all do that.
And I've never had a problem with quill stems myself either.
If you want a new school bike, buy a new school bike - simple.
-
i'd have one of them aswell.
i like the look of it.
the old team bikes where real nice.
-
YOU LOT HAVE LOST YER MARBLES SURELY???? I understand the Burner lads wanting one but normal people????
-
lol i knew that would get you going our steve lol.
i did like the old ones though :P.
-
Yeah but the Aero Pro was different gravy werent it, thats why we are getting all excited :D

Still a Bloody Burner whoever they claim made it!............SH!T!
-
Hey guys...must say that the positive comments are great...especially from some of you "normal" people. ;D
Just to clear up some of the questions raised:
NO - A Head
NO - V brakes
YES - Chromoly all round. One of my Tange Aero Pro frames is currently in the Far East at the frame makers. They will have to strengthen the rear dropouts to comply with modern day health & safety however.
YES - White Tuffs
YES - £250 is the guide price...fairly certain that it should stick to that as well. With only 500 pieces available, I think thats a good price too.
Cheers,
Dave :daumenhoch:
-
Surely you have to ask yourself if it's not going to have Aheadset and V-brakes, what is it going to have? Cheap and nasty quill stem with cheap and nasty calipers?
I don't know about you, but I haven't seen much in the way of quality quill stems or calipers for years? (It's highly likely that I've not been looking in the right places though) ::)
-
Oooh i dunno moose, Action Bikes do some good stuff :LolLolLolLol:
-
YOU LOT HAVE LOST YER MARBLES SURELY???? I understand the Burner lads wanting one but normal people????
Maybe you should grow up a bit, you may be funny then :P
-
pointless
there's plenty of original ones about
hopefully the retro bandwagon will depart soon and fook off back to the far east and stop unleashing reproduction wannabe bikes
if raleigh (or whoever is making this) want to do something productive they should rerelease all the old stickers and padsets. they'd probably make more money that way too, instead of these 1 minute wonder fashion bikes that devalue quicker than a pack of rubber johnnys in the vatican

Shame it's got white Tuffs , they don't look any good now with plakky hubs :idiot2:
I'm wrong I guess thinking that the Team Aero Pro's most high profile rider was Andy Ruffell ?
He rode spoked wheels ! >:D

Dont forget Mike Pardon, he rode white Tuffs.......now a good idea would be to build a frame with new school build quality and geometry in team colours and call it the Mike Pardon Signature series?!?!?!?!?

Schofield rode Tuffs :coolsmiley:
-
Lunny rode spokes mainly!

so did paul zak

Oh no - deja vu .......... :-X :-\

Use the word Burner and it all kicks off... ;D
Regarding the headset... the fact that on the last visit to Raleigh I left them a Tange 300 headset may be an indication in the right direction.. but we will see. ;)
The Team Aero Pro was originally marketed and sold with White Tuffs... :P
Glad some of you can see the positives in this project and I am sure they will sell...
To everyone else.. if you don't want one... don't buy one.. ::)
I can also tell you that Raleigh are working on a New School Race Bike that I think you will be rather impressed with... Alloy Frame / Chromoly Forks...
Don't forget the Olympics are round the corner... ;)

Correct me if i'm wrong though.....wasn't the original Aero Pro the top end race bike of it's day (for Raliegh) so if they stuck a new school headset and just fitted a rear brake......Bobs your unkle!! :daumenhoch:
I like it though......but would be swayed towards the Gen1 re-issue next year :smitten:

It wouldnt cut the mustard on the track though unless it had been re-designed-tweaked, there is a massive deifference between the old race bikes and the current stuff. My Haro Pro-XL is a 91 and still feels sooo different to my 2005 'ONE 52'

Build a nice new frame, keep it Retro looking, at least then it would be a lot more desirable to want and to want to ride.........Might even get one meself then, Only coz i know it would be made in Taiwan!!!
-
As long as it stays as true to the original as possible with the tear drop tubing etc but with a new school design then it cant fail.

I asked about aniversary aero pro at the local raleigh dealers a few weeks ago. He confirmed that raleigh are bringing them out, should be around easter next year.
Everything that has been mentioned here was confirmed by the shop owner except he said the frame would be alloy and there would be 1000 made. we'll wait and see i guess.
I've put my name down for one. It probably wont get ridden tho, just sit next to my aero pro race.

Easter next year... Sorry... they won't be out till June.
The frame is Full Chromoly NOT alloy and there is only a plan to build 500 at this moment. (so perhaps your raleigh dealer was trying to be clever).
As for putting your name down for one... First Come.. First Served.. No Reservations for these bikes are being taken yet... And members of www.burnerworld.co.uk (http://www.burnerworld.co.uk) will have the first option to reserve one.
If you want accurate info on these bikes, bypass ya dealer... he aint working with Raleigh on this project.. ;)
-
i like it..... think its a great idea and it looks a hell of a lot better than the mongoose effort, and i'd rather spend £250 on that than one of the bottom end new school bikes that are available from other manufacturers and are all painted in drab dark colour schemes
repro pad's and accessories would be good though and i'd like to see one in the flesh before buying.
nice one raliegh and burner boys :daumenhoch:
-
mr pardon should get one free.mike could do a oldschool freestyle display on its launch. :daumenhoch:
-
I think it is a great idea, but really think that it should be made similar to how the retro SE Quad will be i.e. threadless 1 1/8" forks, aheadset, V-Brakes and new school geometry, but with the old school paint scheme, pads and stickers.
-
it looks a hell of a lot better than the mongoose effort
I thought Mongoose did a great job.....
Other than the wheels - what was wrong with it???

for 250 quid you could build a proper oldschool one
oh and the stickers were in the wrong place ;)
-
wait and see how much the new gen one is!!! Same applies I think.
-
the new gen one is a different kettle of fish i think
it's a new school ride with old school flava
-
How cool is it that the Raleigh guys have asked the Burner Boys for help?!
Who better to ask than people who actually care about burners. I bet that kind of thing doesnt happen much.

If you insist... ::)
I know your comments are placed in humour but give Raleigh a break... maybe after 25 years they have finally realised that the original Burners were crap and have decided to set the record straight...
I think you will be suprised by the quality of the build and even more suprised by the New Skool Frame they are building... ;)
-
i like that,my 1st proper BMX was a team burner i'll never forget seeing it in the shop window knowing it was mine but i couldn't have it 'till christmas.
i've a pic of me somewhere doing a handlebar stand on it,i'll try an dig it out.

They are working really hard to get this spot on... Myself and DaveMac have had several meetings with Raleigh and the Head of Design (Simon) on this project and he is a really cool guy and very passionate about this project. He is also very receptive to the ideas and changes that we have suggested along the way.
No doubt there will be a few who won't like it, simply because it wears the Raleigh Badge and the has the stigma of being a Burner... But honestly the build quality is first class and they have (in my opinion) captured the real old school feel on bike built in 2007. The geometry is idendical to to the original and the tubing is full cromo, the only distinct difference is probably the drop outs that have had to strengthened to meet current Bicycle Build Regulations.
I hope it is well received by you guys on Rad that aint fan's of the Burner, maybe its taken 25 years for them to get it right... ;)

You cant deny that the color scheme just looks sooo goood. :smitten:

We have only been alllowed to release the photo's that can be found on www.burnerworld.co.uk at the moment (a few more will be released this afternoon/evening).
I have dozens of pics that I took Saturday but am under instruction keep them private until later..
The bike is having its 'official' photshoot as we speak and Raleigh have agreed to let us have the 'official' pictures before anyone else... 8)
Regarding the brakes... they are not Black Dia Compe MX1000's or 900's... Full spec will be released when permission is granted from our friends at Raleigh..
-
are the compononts decent gear tho, or is if full of tektro stuff?

Beard rode the bike like an amatuer...unlike myself obviously. :coolsmiley:

looks like a half decent bike though. does it have 990 mounts? or canti?
-
Uh-oh!! Cable guides and calipers is a no go, just dont work EVER!!!!
-
Already pm'd davemac for instruction on how do get one, still waiting for an answer...
Who do I paypal now?
AL
-
Legislation says they can't use cable clips like BITD... its cable guides or no bike... :-\
They will be running Caliper Brakes not Canti..
-
A one piece crank??? :-\ :idiot2:
-
looks good. i like the one piece. welds look nice.
will be interested to see pics of the brake and stem.
-
Already pm'd davemac for instruction on how do get one, still waiting for an answer...

Did you pm me on here Al, I can't find it? ???
The idea was to replicate the model that was available to the public, hence the one piece crank.
-
same dimensions tube size ect with 1 1/8th and ad lugs would be good

Yep - looking good...I like the 1 piece cranks they keep the price down and are proper old-school. But it's aching for a set of twin-bolt Flights on it...sweeet.
Good work guys. When do we get to see the whole thing?
If you're doing more spy shots, let's have the pedals, stem and seat next!
-
The official photoshoot is taking place now, and the pics will be with the dealers on Friday.
Hopefully we'll be putting them up on Burnerworld tomorrow though :daumenhoch:
PS. Al - sorry mate, just found your PM on the Burner forum, apologies but I missed it yesterday :-[

No difference what so ever...I think they are referring to caliper vs AD...
-
Uh-oh!! Cable guides and calipers is a no go, just dont work EVER!!!!
I mean't this ^^^.
We realise that some components may not be as efficient or as required by some people, but remember that the idea from Raleigh's point of view was to keep it as close to the original as possible, which unfortunately means no lugs.
-
i reckon callipers will be better anyway.
-
so how much is one of these likey to cost ???? they have gotta be resonably priced or they wont sell only to the adult market .i have shown this to my son.. he wants to stick with his haro mirra pro ...i might get one tho if the price is right :daumenhoch:

sorry dave i came in at the end trying to save time £250 sounds good ,,can you take my order ...i am a member the the other site s :daumenhoch:
-
No worries mate, only kidding.
The bikes will be distributed through their dealer network, but Beard and I have secured some for members of our website www.burnerworld.co.uk
This is our own site that we use to help us fund our annual Burner Bash event by selling t-shirts etc. NB. This is seperate to being a member of the Burner forum, which we do not own.
All payments will need to go direct to Raleigh in payment for the bikes. In the next 2 weeks I'm hoping to get a form around all of our members that will enable them to secure a bike before its release.
Details on how to become a member can be found here: http://www.burnerworld.co.uk/merchandise.htm
Cheers
Dave :daumenhoch:
-
Will the sheets be on the Burnerworld forum Dave or will they be pm'd to all on Burnerworld?
All the Best
AL
-
I will email them to every Burnerworld member for them fill out if they wish to reserve one. We currently have just short of 100 members, so we should have enough even if every single member wants one.
As I mentioned before, the burner forum isn't actually owned by Beard and I, we're just moderators on there.

well it can be no worse than that bloody haro crap thats being re made

I'm Having one of those big time.
And I'm racing it this year as well. :daumenhoch:

No difference what so ever...I think they are referring to caliper vs AD...
All you gotta do is run a straight cable bypassing the guides and you get an instant improvement on the braking. There is nothing wrong with the calipers thay will work fine but just not going through the guides. I found this out on my OS race bike that i race and had no braking but thanks to WOLFY for the tip i have wicked braking using calipers. :4_17_5:

Well there could be an argument against it but as far as i am concerned its an 80's frame design and caliper brake :daumenhoch: Who cares anyway it will be sooo cool to see these on the track in the OS class :4_17_5:

Dont know if i missed it but has anything been mentioned about TT length?

-
Dont know if i missed it but has anything been mentioned about TT length?
It is identical to the Original Aero Pro that Ruffell & Schofield rode... I am unsure of the exact measurement, I could battle through the garage and measure an original but its cold and raining and I have only just got out of bed... [night shifts :(]
-
Come on chaps what was the original length then??
-
I think I will get one of those too. Luckily I am a member of the Burner forum, so just waiting for my email.
They will have to make a special class for them as so many of them will be raced! :LolLolLolLol:
-
Come on chaps what was the original length then??
Just measured mine its 17 1/4 inch top tube length
(http://)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/g2/jimmyp12/IMG_1464.jpg)

F*ck me thats short!! The whole reason i stopped racing my F1 was coz it was too short. :tickedoff:
-
Get ya Legs Cut Down... 8)
-
17 1/4 inch top tube length
just checkin thats centre of headtube to centre of seat tube yeah ?
if so thats a pit bike nearly ???
TT aside it looks pretty good :daumenhoch:
-
Thats measuring from weld to weld. If you measure from the middle of the headset to the middle of the seat tube its 18 1/4 inch sorry
-
Get ya Legs Cut Down... 8)
You'll have to cut mine off at the hip!
-
18 1/4 - that sounds better :)
-
Just measured my USA SUPERGOOSE and its the same, so its defo ok to ride ;) ;)
-
Get ya Legs Cut Down... 8)
Here we go............
-
I can just see everyone now in the shed with a ruler measuring the length of the top tube on an aero pro :LolLolLolLol:

Cheers Dave, thats right.
All we ask is for a nominal £3 fee which we put towards the cost of our public liability insurance for our annual "Burner Bash" event that Beard and I organise.
This is totally independant of the Burner forum which isn't owned by us. In return for helping Raleigh on this project, they said that they would allow our members to pre-order one of the new bikes to ensure everyone that wanted one, got one.
Pre-order forms will be distributed in the next week or 2. :daumenhoch:
-
what if you cant go to the burner bash :'(

I'm a member, paid my fees, so make sure you send me a form! :daumenhoch:

old school race legal aswell ;D
well done raleigh top job
-
I like that a lot, although most of it will be swapped out for old school kit like Dia Compe brakes Redline cranks and a proper kashi. Oh and spoked wheels as well.
Will look the bollox though. :daumenhoch:
Are those Tange grips?
-
Are those Tange grips?
Not original Tange, no.
The pic below shows a 3D representation of how they will look. We saw them on Saturday and they are superb! The Tange logo on the ends have been replaced by an updated version of Raleigh's "R" logo, and as you can see the inset Tange text has been replaced with "Raleigh" also.
The feel of the grips is unbelievable. They are super soft...much, much softer than the Tange ones.
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/y104/davemac1974/25APGrip.jpg)
-
They have done such a good job copying the grips, could this not be done an the other parts as well. Even if it did cost a little bit more, would just finnish the job off. The stem looks great as well :) :) ;) :daumenhoch:
-
We've raised questions on the seat, brakes, seatclamp and pedals.
The guy running the project is a top bloke, and I believe him when he says he'll do his best. The bottom line is that if they have to make new toolings for many of the parts to get them as near identical as possible, the bike will end up nearer £500. You'll still get people who aren't happy then.
At £250 its top value, and will be great to see people swap parts to their own preference. I guess we may get a few Ruff'a'likes.
-
Just in case you can't be arse to follow the link... :shocked:

That actually looks quite good :-[

I have some more pictures that I took while we at Raleigh, once they have circulated these promo images I will post my pics up for you all to see.
I know I am biased but its a very nice bike, feels proper Old School but with minor modern touches..

2007 just kicked off with the best start ever. I feel about 12 again :LolLolLolLol:

I 5think Raleigh are going to have to make a few more than 200 to satisfy demand.
Although keeping the numbers low will improve the cachet of them somewhat.
Now can I afford 2 :LolLolLolLol:

The Head of the Project at Raleigh has put his heart and soul into this project and he deserves massive praise... He has been put under immense pressure by those in charge at Raleigh and he has fought tooth and nail to keep this project alive.
I too think these bikes will sell very quick.. The 250 that have been set into production should sell easily..
I fancy two myself.... 8) A rider and a minter...

Initially 250 of these will be available. On General Sale in June... If you are a member of Burnerworld [not the Burner Forum] then you will receive a priority order form which will reserve you a bike [£249.99 incl. FREE delivery to any UK mainland address].
The release of a further 250 will all depend upon the Sales of the first 250. [personally I think they will be gone inside a week].
The Burnerworld Edition is something that is still under discussion with Raleigh. As a thank-you for our input and help on this 07 Team Aero Pro, Raleigh have offered us the opportunity to create a limited edition Burnerworld Aero Pro.
Design... Date of Release and Quantity of this bike is not something we have any details on at the moment, but suffice to say it will be toward the back end of the year and it will be a BEAUTY!!
So if you would like an order form for the 07 Team Aero Pro... sign up to Burnerworld NOW.... www.burnerworld.co.uk
@Moose.
The Black Brake Blocks on White Skyways is VERY ironic.. It was one of the first things that we noticed when viewing the prototype, we also pointed out the fact that Raleigh made the very same error back inthe 80's when they first shot pictures of the Original Team Aero Pro...
As they planned to recreate the original Publicity shot, we thought it would be quirky if they did the same in 2007... So they left them.... :coolsmiley:
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/h65/burnerworld/OldPro.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/h65/burnerworld/NewPro.jpg)
I must also admit that when taking the 07 bike for Test ride around Raleigh's Car Park, I was told not to use the brakes!! Once astride the bike I was so excited... I forgot... I got to one end of the Car Park and decided to do a full "Riders ready... pedals ready..." as I approached the main reception doors I suddenly remembered about stopping... :-[
There was a chorus of "DON'T BRAKE!!" but too late... the prototype then sported some nasty black rings around each wheel... :-[ did I feel a tit!? :D

Definetely consulting my financial advisor about getting a second to keep mint in the box.
The other will be raced this year at Hersden.
You see I have a dilema, I have the money sat in my savings account for two of them but i'd also like to buy a Wii as I sold mine at a hugely inflated price this week so it's really decision time isn't it. :LolLolLolLol:

No contest...
Wii's will be around for years... These bad boys will be gone sharpish... 8)

What do you need besides a decent bike, protective clothing and a big pair of nuts? I could be tempted.
-
Protective clothing is a must. A decent bike is a bonus and a pair of nuts doesn't matter. the fun factor takes over!

A big pair of nuts is a huge dissadvantage as your more likely to crush them crashing :LolLolLolLol:

That's a nice look! Very different. :daumenhoch:

Right if they were to reproduce the colour scheme of one of the original burners other than the team which one would you like to see.
For me it would have to be the black and gold Ultra Burner.
-
I think the red one with black forks and yellow tyres would be cool.
-
If yer goin for noraml burner would have to be everyone's fave, Blue and yellow!
-
Surely you meant Red and Yellow :LolLolLolLol:

Yeah that one....(did have black forks didnt it???)
The blue n yella one would be cool as well.

is the geometry for this bike about ? (i havent read the whole thread :-\ )

Below is the message I've just posted on the Burner forum. Please ignore my obvious frustration that comes through towards the end, it was in response to some stupid questions :uglystupid2:...what do you expect from people that restore Burner's though eh??? ;D
"OK guys, everyone who's a member of Burnerworld should now have an email containing 2 attachments, an advertising flyer and an order form. Believe it or not, you do have to pay for these bikes, so you will have to enter payment details.
If anyone who believes they are a member hasn't received their email yet, please contact me at davemac@burnerworld.co.uk
The pdf cannot be amended in Adobe Reader. If you read the form there are a number of ways you can place your order....some suggestions for all those that cannot be bothered to read it:
1. Print the form out, complete, and post.
2. Print the form out, complete, and fax.
3. Print the form out, complete, scan, and email.
4. Telephone the number on the form, and speak to the lovely Janet.
5. Recreate the form using wax crayons on the back of a shaven hamster, place it in a small cardboard tube from the inside of a toilet roll, and send it to Raleigh via carrier pigeon....FAO Janet obviously or it will never get there.
Thank You
Dave"

If she isn't fit you might even get it cheaper still :LolLolLolLol:

Just ordered mine through Raleigh.
I was the first one she did today so I expect she'll be inundated pretty soon.
Only ordered one though as I thought having two was a bit much.

I'mm ordering mine on Monday, was thinking about getting 2! :LolLolLolLol:

I paid up to burnerworld but no-form yet :( Please dont forget little ol me ;)
Can you order direct from Raliegh?

What time did you sign up, was it this morning? Sorry I left the house early this morning.
I won't be able to sort until I get home tonight, don't worry though I'll get the form off to you asap.
You cannot pre-order from Raleigh, only with this form. Any other bikes will go out to dealers, although most have already been aloocated to individual shops.
-
Thanks buddy
-
I was hpoing I could order, placing a deposit, and pay the balance prior to shipping.
I am a bit skint, well not skint, just not flush enough to justify the full price at the present time.
Would happily part with say £50 now.
Decisions, decisions.
Any creditors out there? :LolLolLolLol:
-
I know the feeling Ad, mine will have to go on the credit card.
Could you imagine me being this involved with the project then missing out on one??? :(

Who's gonna sub me? :2funny:
I'll pay you back; 50p a week for 500 weeks.

Yes mate, it was Simon. Been talking to him almost everyday for what seems like ages now getting this bike as good as humanly possible. Simon is a top bloke, and has fought tooth & nail to keep the project going.
How do you know Simon then???
PS. Got a mag the other day through the post off the bay, had a full page story on "Shooter!". :daumenhoch:

Simon is a legend in my eyes... His desire to get this bike built and released has been superb, powers that be have tried to pull the plug on several occassions but the project was something he believed in [along with myself and DaveMac] and I think the powers that be are in for a suprise when they see how these bikes sell... 8)
Sir Simon Wild.... ;)
-
I worked at Raleigh with Simon.
I was the one originally asked whether to go for a Burner revival.
I did some research and decided that if it was gonna be done that we would have to do the bike as close to the original as possible.
The bosses there are very hard to push in a direction that they think unprofitable to them and thats put in the nicest way!
I decided not to go ahead with it. Looks like Simon decided to.
It would have taken a massive argument for it to get to that point!
I hope it works out for him.
I got this email from him just the other day -
"Got to keep it real mate like we discussed"
-

i see what was meant by the cable guides now
The probelm lies in the small rear piece of outer cable at the caliper, there is no movement and so the one arm of the caliper sticks in place and just rubs the rim, quick and easy fix is nice rear cable straight to the caliper.
-
get those velcro straps from alans so the cable can still move a little

I popped :LolLolLolLol: into my local Raleigh dealer this morning and they hadn't a clue about it.

Burner who???? ;D
-
I popped :LolLolLolLol: into my local Raleigh dealer this morning and they hadn't a clue about it.
I did that on Saturday and the bloke thought i was completely hatstand :LolLolLolLol:
-
hey Geth - keep it real mate.
Pop in on Sunday to see the Buner if you like.
Cheers,
SI
-
I'm so looking forward to getting this.
The first thing that's going to happen is it's getting stripped and retro'd well proper with dia-compe brakes, tange headset, suntour stem, redline flights and suntour XC-11 pedals. Oh and a proper kashimax aero as well.
-
i was thinking the same thing si :daumenhoch:.
-
Just got one from my local dealer this morning, they have only been alocated 2 and ive got one of them. The other bike is going to be built up for display in the shop :) :)
-
What is the point of buying one then stripping it down and building it up with different parts? :idiot2: just buy it,wrap it up and stick it in the loft for 20 years,then bring it down and you will either sell it for big bucks? or the ass would have fallen out of the whole bmx market and it'll be worth fcuk all! ::)
-
Cos it's being bought for racing that's why :LolLolLolLol:
I haven't got the room to keep a collection of bikes just sitting there so I'll race it at Hersden this summer. However it's being built to a strict price limit so I'll junk all the parts and keep the frame and forks :daumenhoch:
-
Fare comment ;) If I had the legs,energy and inclination I'd be tempted to do the same ;)
-
You've just got to get out there and do it. I'm a short fat bloke with no energy, but I love racing. Unfortunately I seem to think I am much better than I am because I end up in hospital a fair bit too. Having said that though judging by the old school class at hersden there's a few of us that fall into that category :LolLolLolLol:
-
:LolLolLolLol:
PS: When does it kick off this year then?
-
No idea Ross. I'm sure there'll be a thread at some point. It's usually after Easter sometime though.
-
Has anyone got theirs yet???? I heard a rumour that they had started to come through.
-
i was told may si ?.
-
I think i may have read this wrong :crazy2:

There is only one in the UK, the prototype at Raleigh HQ in Eastwood.
Last time I spoke to Raleigh I seem to remember May 14th as the date the first 250 hit our shores.
:daumenhoch:
-
the first 250
how many are there in total then.
-
350 I beleive

:LolLolLolLol: yeah im the first in the country to get one ;D ;D ;) ;) :shocked: :shocked:
-
I'm the first in the country to get one LOL
But I cant keep her :(
-
ordered mine today 8) only 49 left now apparently.
-
the good thing is that you pay for it up front and then forget about it. Then in may or june they just deliver it to your door.

Thats one way of looking at it I suppose! :LolLolLolLol:
Ideally Raleigh could have taken a deposit, but they aren't setup for that, and full payment was the only way that they could guarantee reserving you one.
I have to say that I am amazed at the general good reception Raleigh's planned release of this bike has had on Rad. I expected the odd remark, which is all good fun as always, but the general positive vibes from a lot of you is really cool and has made the fact that Beard and I have been involved with the project feel even more special. Cheers guys :daumenhoch:
-
No. Thank you both.
-
so are there 250 as i thought or 350 ?.
-
It is true that Simon (Project Manager) added another 100 as there just wasn't enough to go round.
I belive that there are currently forty odd unallocated of those 350.
-
is that going to be it then dave.
there aint gonna be loads of these bikes done after you dont think.
would take all the magic away from having a limited edition.
-
As far as we are told (and Simon is a sound guy) that is it for the Team Pro colourway.
As a thank you to Beard and I for helping them they are going to let us design a bike ourselves to hopefully be released for Xmas 07. This will be based on the same frame as the Team Pro. We haven't decided on the design yet, but Beard and I have our thinking caps on ;) We were thinking a run of about 100 for this, to keep it as limited as possible.
It has also been made public in the last couple of days that Boxfresh commsisioned Raleigh to build a bike using that frame for a fashion show in Barcelona to launch their new range, that they could design themselves. We did know about this, but were sworn to secrecy.
Apparently the bike has gone down a storm, and they want some more to display in stores. No word on volumes yet, although 100 has been mentioned, but they will not be available for general sale to the public.
Chrome with black polka dots was the Boxfrsh design:

The Burner world one should be a very limited run of chrome Aero Pro's. That way I could buy another. Now that would be a sure fire winner.

I think you guys should be very proud of your achievement with Raleigh, I know that Geth (planting the seed) and Simon (seeing it through) had a lot to do with it but without your input the suits would have screwed it up for sure. It looks a great bike, let's hope it rides well and is a success for Raleigh :daumenhoch:

This is how it is
pointless
there's plenty of original ones about
hopefully the retro bandwagon will depart soon and fook off back to the far east and stop unleashing reproduction wannabe bikes
if raleigh (or whoever is making this) want to do something productive they should rerelease all the old stickers and padsets. they'd probably make more money that way too, instead of these 1 minute wonder fashion bikes that devalue quicker than a pack of rubber johnnys in the vatican
Mr Ruler is 100% Correct.
And why why why with the tuffs, if they want to do it with style, it has to be Alloys or Alloy Hubbed Tuffs.
Oh, and they make a big mistake with building the A' Pro, they should have done the Super tuff or the Night Burner as they were the ones that people had.
GAY!

We've missed you ORB :LolLolLolLol:
-
, and they make a big mistake with building the A' Pro
thats why theres only 49 left out of 350.
now fook off and play with ya 205 :P.

Thats more the point, do you see mongoose making a repo Pro Class? No, they do the one that people can relate to.
And I very much doubt that there is only 49 left out of 350. Infact I doubt that there was 350 made, Lets face it, 90% will be in skips by now, and if there are 49 owned that makes it a lot more than 350 at that percentage rate. I know I have binned at least 3, I know rombloke has abused one.
I have nothing against burners, I have one that I am restoring, I have a few that I will never bother, but lest face it, whats the point in this?
If people are buying for Nostagia, then they will buy the bike that they had back then, ie, not the A' Pro. They would lust over the Super Tuff as thats what people wanted, the blue MK1 with the Yellow Tuffs.
And, If the A Pro was such a rare beast, surely they are pissing on thier own bonfire by putting another 250 into the world.
Again, I will explain.
If you owned a set of rare Hutch Gayspeed cranks and someone reproduced them and people bought them as they could not afford the real ones, would you not be pissed off as your real gayspeed are now worth a lot less than they were.
Stupid Idea.
Bring back a proper burner that was BUILT BY RALEIGH, FOR REAL KIDS.
-
Oh, I may buy one.

:LolLolLolLol:

Oh, and on another note, Boxfresh? Eh? FRESH???? WTF?
What is fresh about this POS?
(http://www.creamofbmx.com/dotclear/images/boxfreesh.jpg)
Nice components Mr Fresh
GAY
-
Because , with DC and others ? doing stuff Boxfresh have seen where this is going and have rushed a realease to appear cool
You will see a fair bit this summer and be prepared for some real media attention

Ask 10 different people what bike should have been repro'd, and you'll get 10 different answers. Raleigh had to choose one, and they decided to go with the colour scheme that they think would appeal to most people. Rather than building a bike that everyone owned, they chose a bike that many people wanted to own.
There was millions of the Raleigh built Burners made, and there are many that remain (apart from the 4 disposed of by you and Dave obviously). There would have been no point remaking those, as there is still a plentyful supply around...just look in your nearest skip! ;D
I agree about the Boxfesh one, but what do you expect from a design house, eh? ::)
The frame is lovely though...the best thing Raleigh have commissioned in years. ;)

:LolLolLolLol: don't ask me about that 'reproduction junk' ??? ;)
-
Well, I still think Raleigh repro'd the right bike. If it was a Super Tuff Burner, all 350 would still be on the shelves come christmas...with tumbleweed bouncing down the aisle. They have built the one that people could never afford, but always wanted, and the one which actually looked pretty damn cool.
And Orb, where do you suggest they get 350 NOS pairs of metal-hubbed tuffs you carrot? ;)
-
Oh go easy Stodgy, after all he is a newbie.........again :LolLolLolLol:
-
And Orb, where do you suggest they get 350 NOS pairs of metal-hubbed tuffs you carrot?
Same place that they get the 350 frames
Manufacture them :)

Too expensive to tool up apparently, when they have plastic hubbed versions available nice and cheap...the bike is only £250...and everyone would have moaned if it were more.
