you know.............these re-issues......it's OUR fault....I mean you know, Burnerworld and RAD and all this interest in old bikes has fuelled this!

Very true, but with all the information and resources available to be able to get it right...we can't be to blame for the shoddy shite they put out.

I know... I know....

They are indeed an embarassment.

The 25th Anniversary Team bikes were 'ok'? not as good as the guys who were running the project at Raleigh wanted, but they were not 'too' bad...

In the past 12 months Raleigh have been churning shome right cr@p out and its no suprise that the guys who loved BMX and were the force behind the 25th Ann. Team bikes are no longer working at Raleigh... whoever has taken over product development and is in charge of the BMX dept is a right twonk...

I 've emailed Raleigh several times and asked them WTF they are playing at but have yet to have a response.

[They look like the cheap Skyway Utility wheels, designed for wheelchairs, wheelbarrows and the like

.

id rather have a wheel barrow than that lump of iron.

other than the aero pro (which they never made anyway) I don't think they've ever made a good one.

oldtired · « **Reply #42 on:** January 24, 2011, 09:45 PM »

looks fookin orribble, wheels are Skyway utilities ,i think , which i believe skyway can sell cheaper than the new tuffs ,

, which is why all them big mama death traps have em on , although originally they had new but proper tuffs on, not a Bummer fan at all, but its a shame that they have done such bad job , you think they might have learned something the first time round , some fooker wants sacking over a Raliegh for approving the final spec , obviously knows fook all about bmx and certainly hasn't had the common sence to look at an old catalog or advert, just in it to turn over the cash as most of the new range are just shite six month lifespan bikes , just like they did before, shame realy,

i'd rather eat the peanuts out my shite, than come into contact with one of those things! put the seat up and push the bars forward abit and i might change my mind!
