I have a wheelbarrow with TA stickers, and it is now a TA and will be advertised as such.

HATE this kind of shite.......Not sure whether to feel sorry for the people (if any) who are actually bidding on it.

This actually was a Raleigh Mk1 early 80's Tear drop frame mag burner

It was...

So putting TA stickers on changes it into a TA....

No. Its a Mk2 mid eighties, although that looks more like a Styler (later) frame.

Huh! I don’t get what the fuss is about. Okay, his title only tells 20% of the story but his description is totally clear what you are bidding on: "This actually was a Raleigh Mk1 early 80's Tear drop frame mag burner. It has been shot blasted and re painted to a high finish in a spray booth and is in new condition".

Assuming the interested bidders can read, I don’t think the advert is particularly bad. Sure, it could be "improved" a little but all the information is there, you just have to read past the adverts' title.

Btw, Im bringing exactly this bike to this Sunday's ride - a Mag Burner pimped to be a TA

Bit like the snide Adidas gear they used to sell in the 80's that had four stripes. (or two in some cases) Hope you'll be wearing some vintage counterfeit apparel to go with your vintage counterfeit bike when you're out on it.
