Bought this from a fellow rad member (thx Russ). Used to race back in the day, sold my original for £40 !!! anyway after many years away from the sport - i saw a flyer on the net advertising the new 2007 raleigh team aero burner. well i had to have one as it was one of the bikes i hadn't actually owned.

At the time i didn't realize there was even an old school scene! After taking delivery of the Burner i immediately got those what if i changed the cranks, bars etc feeling - well after a lot of ebaying and finally finding the Burner Forums and RAD i just got totally hooked.

I originally went after a white UNI turbo seat on the bay and found this one fitted to the GT, after much communication and piggy bank raiding i decided i just had to have the GT (was always my fav race bike).

Once i received the bike i decided i wanted to get some z rims fitted - couldn't afford any NOS ones - so i decided to get some old battered ones and restore them - this lead to a complete rebuild and teaching myself how to lace and true wheels!!!

Decided to completely strip and rebuild the GT, mirror polishing anything that i could. Bought some old MX1000's and reconditioned them - polished the living daylights out of anything that would sparkle - had sore fingers for weeks!

I love this bike and despite it being a carpet queen - it gets a regular thrashing - hoping to get to the track in 2008 and get back into racing.
