Absolutely spot on

Love the old replica builds and this is no exception

Tuffs & Tyre combo looks ace. What's the score with the different colour grips I wonder

About two to three months from when I got the frame.
Got real lucky on finding some parts.
f.e.: the Pro bars: googled and found old sales on bmxmuseum. Contacted sellers and buyers..
Some guys bought them to put on their Thrusters

And the frame.. I had a WTB on the museum. Half a year later I got a reaction

Thank God for the Pooly Sheriff!

have you finally tracked down another orphan oakley 2 then yannick.

brettypeeps · « **Reply #14 on:** January 11, 2012, 09:51 PM »

Had a quick look at this before and was in awe

Had to make some food and had to come back comment on this that is one sweet bike and tracking the parts down must have been a nightmare, Well done this is a blinder

rad_pitt · « **Reply #15 on:** January 11, 2012, 11:21 PM »

Yannick, you know how much I've wanted to see this! It doesn't disappoint - absolutely stunning mate, truly is

Those tyres must be rare

RoyalTrux · « **Reply #16 on:** January 12, 2012, 08:02 AM »

Thanks for the awesome feedback, that does a lot!

Tom, those 2.125 tyres, I found them just two weeks ago. Unbelievable luck on that aswell.

RATTY · « **Reply #17 on:** January 12, 2012, 08:08 AM »

Looks blinding, is the frame mongoose built?
Such a shame Raleigh decided to build pos in this country, could have been such a different story.

Well done mate

That's nuts!

I absolutely love this build mate. One of my grails, the team Rampar. This rep has made me want one even more

Love the replica builds , the older the better

Im liking these Rampar frames too and those bars are mad but cool

Nice job RATster

As I said on burnerworld Yannick you have done a blinding job on this mate.
It really captures everything you were aiming for.
Proper oldschool cool.

Sorry Tony

The models Raleigh UK released were just upgrades of the early US releases.
The pro burners Craig Schofeild & Mike Pardon were riding in the early 80's surpassed the Rampar R11 XL that Henderson used to replace this BMX products model.

The tuff burner , although not a race standard bike by any means, was the single biggest selling bmx in the UK.
The team aero pro didn't do too bad either, been good enough to win a world champion ship on.
