Title: --- Pro-Lite Rainbow 'P' Gusset - INFO PLEASE ---
Post by: Stodgy on May 16, 2008, 10:25 AM: Hello chaps

Picked this up off of ebay, I know if was from around 81/82 and I remember them being in the store when I chose my mk1 Super Burner!

Does anyone have any info/scans of ads/reviews/catalogues/whatever please?

It all seems to be original apart from the chainring (which he also gave me seperately)...

Shop sticker is for Bikewise Sports in Ickenham - we used to go there on the way to Harrow skatepark!

Will have a look, not feeling too confident as I remember finding scans of the privateer and trackmaster reviews but not seeing an ad last time I checked my mag stash ;)
