hey Phil, seriously, the aero pro is a fantastic frameset and pretty well up there with TA but the TA gets it style wise..the seat tube is way sexier!

I think the Raliegh is the rarer frameset. If it had Kuwie stickers on it or some other US make then it would have been much more sought after.

I sold my Aero pro to buy a TA. When I bought the Aero pro a couple of years ago there really was n't much intrest in burners. The bike was orignal but not mint and cost 180 at the same time TA's held a much higher price I couldn't afford one. I think this is due to the intrest from the US and rest of world where burners hold intrest in the uk only.
But more TA's were produced so although the market for them is bigger there is still more out there. Less Aero pro's were produced so less survive so it's a sellers market.

So although I love my TA and for me Skyway beats Raleigh any day as a world wide iconic 80's BMX brand.I can see the day when the Aero Pro warrants a higher price than the TA (supply and demand)
