Raleigh Aero Pro Custom
« on: December 22, 2007, 12:12 AM »
Literally got a part I needed at about midday and rushed to take some pics before leaving my home for xmas @ 2 ... so here it is....

thinkin' I should probably get some pads done for it now... ??

The bike looks so much better in person, the decals especially. It doesn't photograph too well.

Take a look a look at the rad comp it's in there in amongst some amazing bikes

Let me know what you think good or bad...

thanks

I've been after a chrome Aero Pro for a quite a while but have been restricted by money and space... so after selling 2 bikes (should I have ??) it afforded me to move on with my plans. My ultimate dream bike which of course, was loosely based on one of Julian Taffs' previous builds.

Thanks for the comments... will be trying some chrome pads on it that resemble a hutch padset.

Not sure of the top tube length magna... I think it's around 19.5 but that's a guess as I'm not with the bike at the mo. I can let you know if you still want to know when I return after xmas.

cheers
