I love the retro burners, and to be honest I've never had a dig at burners, but I'm not so sure about this $:-\$ , Argos Â£99.99. Stick with the retro stuff Raleigh

Raleigh will be attending... but there will be nothing Aero Pro... and nothing Alley?

Sparky24 · « **Reply #40 on:** March 23, 2008, 04:20 PM »

what would be the chances that raleigh would do a replica working with dc & kashimax . i know it would cost , but would be nice to kick start them in making mx1000 and aero;s. this new stuff is crap , nos prices getting out of control

dwain dibbly · « **Reply #41 on:** March 23, 2008, 04:22 PM »

i think the last thing we need is more replica stuff

beard1973 · « **Reply #42 on:** March 23, 2008, 04:29 PM »

Impossible... the cost of all the tooling to be remade would not be recoverable from the sale of the bikes... It was looked into at the time of the TAP07 and the costs were just not practical.

The tooling alone for a Kashimax Aero came in at £4k..... little did Raleigh know that Kashimax would be re-releasing the Aero this year....

as for Dia-Compe re-tooling for the MX1000/900's... would the demand justify the cost??? its not just a case of knocking out a few hundred sets.... for this kind of manufacturing to be justifiable you are talking about 1000's of pieces being retooled and remanufactured.

I know the TAP07 has taken a battering in some quarters... but the F&F's are 'quality'!!! and throw into that a set of BRAND NEW Tuffs... and all of a sudden the £250 is not that bad... Yes it has Tektro brakes.... as do dozens of other NEW bikes... MirraCo's, Haro's... etc etc...

I agree the seat, bars & Crankset were below par... but anyone wanting to use the bike seriously would instantly swap those anyway...

People have moaned about the price tag.... Do you have any idea how much the bike would have had to retail at, had Raleigh pushed for 'every' component to be remanufactured... they would have sold half a dozen bikes!!!!!

Beard, I Love The Burners As You Must Know But I Think £250 For The Team Is Resonable But £250 For The Super Tuff And Mag, Well It Just Seems A Bit Pricey For Those 2. What Do You Think??

thanx beard for that; do you know the link for the kashimax.

I Guess Your Right, But I Think Raleigh Should Price The Different Burner Models Like They Did In The 80's And Not Sell Them All At The Same Price.

But they are ALL THE SAME BIKE now....

how could they justify selling one bike £100 cheaper cos' it got Gold Paint on?

ps - Have you got Capital Letter Torrets?

dwain dibbly · « **Reply #48 on:** March 23, 2008, 04:45 PM »

beard i have no problems with these bikes at all.
i ordered the TAP as soon as heard about it and was so looking
forward to owning one.
i think £250 is a good price and appreciate them for what they are
but as soon as they started bringing out boxfresh,STB, and now the MAG
i think the original concept has been lost

is there plans for an ultra,extra,tuff ??
and whats hppening with the burnerworld edition?
