MT Racing Aeropro Kit
« on: October 30, 2014, 08:56 AM »
So I thought I would put this up to try and compete against the Rad FB page  :D

As some of you will remember I managed to score my grail back in 2012 (after 4 years of searching) but it came without the original forks. Full resto thread below -

http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,159637.msg1589688.html#msg1589688

Anyway, earlier this year I got my hands on another super rare Aeropro but this time complete with original forks. As I already had a complete factory spec bike I thought I would set this up as a racing kit that was available back in 83/84.

Advert from Nov 83









Fully 4130 Chromoly Frame and Forks. 19.5" Top Tube.








And a quick pic of my complete Aeropro  ::)



Cheers Nath  :)

Amazing stuff as always Nath.

Can't believe they didn't go more 'Aero' with the seat though.  ???  It looks like it's off a Grifter.

Not really Steve. I would prefer to keep the original forks with its original frame  :daumenhoch:

Just curious, what bars are with this kit? That cross bar has a nice curve to it.  :daumenhoch:

Quote from: Macmania on October 30, 2014, 08:56 AM


Two types of bars were available with this kit. One with a curved bar and one with a straight bar. Both were manufactured by Hsin Lung  ;)

Thanks for the comments chaps  :daumenhoch:

I have to agree with Marty C's comment, that not only do you a fine job finding such rare gems, you build them up looking really sweet. Great work, and thanks again for posting  :4_17_5:
