Fantastic rebuild of this beauty!

I also have received a Raleigh Aero Pro Burner in nearly 100% original composition (except of the missing Kashimax)...
...waiting to get a second chance

Yeah .. Stamped Tange on the BB mate

Were the frames made specifically for Raleigh, or were they also used by Kuwahara?

Think just for Raleigh but I'm no expert

I think it was just the Nova/Cromo Burner which shared the same frame and forks set

I was thinking the same John, but I can't remember if my Laserlite had round tubing as opposed to the AP's teardrop/oval tubing. I'm sure they shared the same geometry and rear dropouts though.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Dan you are totally correct ... It shared the same geometry as a Laserlite but not the tubing

Cro-mo burner shared the same geometry as the Nova as Rob said but not the same forks apparently

Hm, in my memory the relevant Nova's (1984) you can compare with the Aero Pro Burner came with a small "MT-Racing-like" gusset under the down tube - or am I wrong?

Chris it's super light to pick up....

According to the catalogue it weighed 24.5 lbs ( 11.1Kg ) but that was with front/rear and wheel reflectors on it.
