Retro, whats under the cloth?
-
Thats not my one Orb...I'm at work and mine isn't on photobucket.
Mike, my Team Pro was raced by a girl called Paula Dibben????
It has no serial numbers on it anywhere - did the factory riders use Tange built frames from Japan or where they custom made??
Si

Here is my custom chrome one again for your enjoyment... :coolsmiley:

How the chuff did she manage to lose her pedals in a race!? :crazy2:
Didn't someone on here build a replica of Mikes bike? And wasn't there a question somewhere of him having had it custom built and someone wanted the details....it's some time ago now. :-\
-
Gods honest truth I saw one of those just yesterday, all sprayed matt black (including Tuffs, white showing through on the braking area) It was outside a newsagents and was being used by the paperboy to deliver papers,I saw the sweep of the bars, stopped the van and walked back to take a look, I wondered what it was??
:) DINGO :)
-

Alright, not 'exactly'!
I took the pedals off to get it in the car....the handlebars are also loose - also to get it in the car! :Aresehole:

;D

I would kill to have my old aero pro back, it was stolen in 87, by some piece of shit vermin who lived down the street from me. I was absolutely bereft. We got the police involved, and it went to court, and did I get my bike back? Did I bollocks. I couldn't prove that I had bought all the individual components, such as the Robinson Expert bars, Araya 7x's, black kashimax etc. It was decided that this scumbag could have bought all these bits himself, and the fact that he had chosen a 43 tooth sugino front chainwheel in silver and a black powerdisc to mount it on (with exactly the same wear marks on the back of it where I'd forgotten to put the washer behind the cone), was mere coincidence. BASTARDS!!!!!!!!
That aside though, I remember the aero pro as a lovely bike to ride, really light and handled superbly. It always amazes me how much people say they are crap, just because it's a raleigh. I think that frame and forks is easily as good as a TA. I would love to have another, and a tear does form in the corner of my eye every time I see a pic of a nice team colour aero pro, just like my old one. Sniff sniff, sob sob :'(

I have 2 team ones - this one
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/y107/juliantaff/DSCN1464.jpg)
and this custom
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/y107/juliantaff/DSCN1391.jpg)
F and F as good as a TA in my opinion.
-
I still really want another one. Never appreciated mine bitd. Wasn't I the arse.
As it says below I still want one, so who's selling.
I might be persuaded to let the Patterson go for one if it came up. And my Patterson is now looking good.

julian
hate to say it mate but i think i can see a speck of dust on the one
bike :2funny:
-
They are both gorgeous......I can feel myself welling up again...... :'(
My aero pro didn't have the Burner sticker on the down tube though, mine had the Team Raleigh sticker instead. Could this have been because my f/f came straight from the factory?
-

Yep, we think the ones with Raleigh stickers on the down tube (from new) were factory bikes...I know mine is (the top one) as it was Paula Dibben's bike, she was a factory rider and No3 in 1986.
It has no serial numbers and does not have Tange on the bottom bracket.
-

Ahh.... that explains it... mine never said Tange on the bottom bracket, or had serial numbers either. Hence when I went to court about it, I couldn't prove the frame was mine.
The sticker on my frames downtube said "Team Raleigh", like on the pad, and there was no sticker on the top tube. I am not sure but I think it also came fitted with a black headset, not enammeled, but a sort of black chrome.
-
Is it an anodised black?Its a Tange No300.And i'm restoring mine at the mo(slowely due to idiot muppet powdercoaters sorry powderBLANKETers).I powdercoated mine black and its just not right so its coming off and im going to anodise it,but i suppose it is a black smoke like the HL turbo frames?
-
yeh - it's black anodized....just buy a rattle can of black - job done.
-
It should be a TANGE 125 headset , bloody rockin horse in black

-
Thats the later one with the locking part, but yes a 125 not the LP version
-
I seem to think the headset on mine was just a normal looking beartrap 2 style one, but in a smoky chrome colour. Could be wrong though, 18 years since I last saw it.
-
I keep going by the newsagents where I saw the one the other morning but no luck as yet :(
:) DINGO :)
