Weighs a ton, crap geometry, crap parts fitted from factory. ;)

Don't misunderstand me though, I still like it, regardless of how bad it is. Can't really explain why, just one of those things. Maybe it's just the colour scheme, or the way it reminds me of my youth, not that I had one, but I do like it. That's why I spent time and money restoring it. It's not worth anywhere near what it's cost me, but that's irrelevant, cos it's not for sale :)

Cheers

Guy :daumenhoch:

when you was a kid parents could'nt afford to buy the team aero pro that andy ruffell rode so a bike that looked similar with his name on was second best and cheered up many kids on christmas day.
so for andy ruffell to slag off the bike that made him some of his money is wrong in my opinion .

fair enough its not exactly the perfect track bike but if it wasn't for mongoose and raleigh he would'nt be where he is today

few thats that off my chest ;)
