If I had a pound for everytime I have heard this line when racing this past 2 years then this bike would have paid for itself...

"You of all people should be racing a Burner!"

Well... I have taken the controversial step backwards in TT Length and this Winter Series I will be racing a 1984 Raleigh Team Aero Pro Burner. I don't think for one moment I am going to be able to match the success of Craig Schofield who won the 1985 World Championships on an Aero Pro but I am gonna do my bit and fly the Raleigh Flag...  :cool:

I have had the bike for some time and it was going to be built up as a 'Show Bike' to factory spec... but the racing bug has bitten me hard and the thought of taking part riding a bike brand that I love and continually support was too much to resist... so here she is...

My 2009/10 Race Bike....









VERY LIMITED EDITION - Redline Flights - Beard1973 Signature Edition.



Coming to track near you in the Northern Region Winter Series - Old Skool Class    :coolsmiley:

Oh and you don't wanna be leaving your bikes laid anywhere near me this winter.... just in case...   :-X

Nice rides, Dave.  I'm not a big Raleigh fan but I've always liked the Aeros in team colours.  Very classy looking bikes.

Please let me know if you want to sell one of your Amtrac frames  :daumenhoch:

Fair play to you Dave :daumenhoch: I know i had trouble getting to grips with the different TT sizes but get some sessions on the go and you'll soo be used to it :daumenhoch:

also i know people above have already asked so are intitled to know before me but could i please know a price on the Amtrac when you decide to let it go :daumenhoch:

Thanks. Zak :Great_Britain:
