Author Topic: AERO PRO ... ALMOST COMPLETE (Read 2400 times)

Steve P · « **on:** January 28, 2007, 01:53 PM »

Nearly finished my latest project and one I've been after for some time now ... I loved my Aero Pro BITD

All parts are original except the seat, wheels and tyres. Everything else has been stripped, cleaned and restored ... even the nuts, bolts and washers have been polished

BEFORE

AFTER

Pro Class wheels are only temporary until I find some decent 7W's. Just need to fit a new chain, grips, pads and brake cables to complete

A massive thumbs up to Del for selling me the bike and for a super smooth deal ... thanks mate

Super nice Steve...can't beat a good Burner!

Steve P · « **Reply #15 on:** February 15, 2007, 02:04 PM »

Just finished restoring my Araya 7W's ... polished rims, stainless spokes with black nips and repro hub and rim decals

I've also fitted Comp III's, Dia Compe cables and a chain so I think that's about it for now. I do have pads but forgot to fit them before taking the pics

Huge thanks to Steve (Firebird) for the pads and to Mark (cbrgil) for the wheels, decals, chain and cable

Aother top build to add to the collection Steve - very nice

theRuler · « **Reply #17 on:** February 15, 2007, 03:07 PM »

that looks really nice steve
beats "team colours" and plastic wheels any day of the week
the araya aeros are the best old school wheels bar none

it don't need no pads

that is the nicest aero pro i have seen in a long time. looks like a proper race bike

Quality build Steve

Always nice to see and hear of bikes being restored like the ones they had BITD

Cheers for the comments guys but sadly the AP has to go to make room which is running out fast so ...
