Quote of the week....

They are both gorgeous......I can feel myself welling up again......

My aero pro didn't have the Burner sticker on the down tube though, mine had the Team Raleigh sticker instead. Could this have been because my f/f came straight from the factory?

Yep, we think the ones with Raleigh stickers on the down tube (from new) were factory bikes...I know mine is (the top one) as it was Paula Dibben's bike, she was a factory rider and No3 in 1986.
It has no serial numbers and does not have Tange on the bottom bracket.

Ahh.... that explains it... mine never said Tange on the bottom bracket, or had serial numbers either. Hence when I went to court about it, I couldn't prove the frame was mine.

The sticker on my frames downtube said "Team Raleigh", like on the pad, and there was no sticker on the top tube. I am not sure but I think it also came fitted with a black headset, not enammeled, but a sort of black chrome.

Is it an anodised black?Its a Tange No300.And i'm restoring mine at the mo(slowely due to idiot muppet powdercoaters sorry powderBLANKETers).I powdercoated mine black and its just not right so its coming off and im going to anodise it,but i suppose it is a black smoke like the HL turbo frames?

[retrogeezer]

yeh - it's black anodized....just buy a rattle can of black - job done.

One of these....

Thats the later one with the locking part, but yes a 125 not the LP version

I seem to think the headset on mine was just a normal looking beartrap 2 style one, but in a smoky chrome colour. Could be wrong though, 18 years since I last saw it.

I keep going by the newsagents where I saw the one the other morning but no luck as yet
