Afternoon all.

Thanks to the lovely Pete taking my crippled arse over to my sisters to pick up the wheels out of storage, I've got round to building my 84 Raleigh Team Aero Pro.

Apparently an ex-factory bike (no proof), was once Steve P's F&F who built it as a rather beautiful stock bike...so rather than just build the same bike again, I decided to go for a more ready-for-the-track custom build - different good or different bad, I quite like it.

Anyhow, all NOS, and quite slinky.

Without plate:

Very Nice Dave, Glad You Had The Guts To Build One

Are those the Araya's I sold you ages ago??

Nice build, glad to see something a bit different to the norm.

It's got a few more added red n blue bits that totally make the bike as far as i'm concerned. Love That!

Really like the colour scheme. Not over the top,but nicely personalised.

really nice. great attention to detail...

My only comment:
A build like that deserves some flite cranks on it....

I'm still loving it without though.

Thanks Steve, I was worried about doing a custom after your one looking so sweet, but had to venture something a little different. Thank you for your feedback on it mate.

Nice job. Good balance on the colours. Haven't seen Uni Hand Grenades in ages (forgotten they existed!)
