Thanks lads.
I wouldn't dare Carl on those freshly annode rims but after starting racing on an ap last season i have to say in comparison to the robinson pro and the haro pro series........believe or not the aero pro feels a lot better.
My race bike 'team ap'

How could you say that? I have noticed that all of your posts just slag everyone off.

That bike is the dogs danglies.  :4_17_5: :4_17_5: :4_17_5: :4_17_5:

In fact that is probably the nicest bike I have seen on here. I remember these in Halfords. Always wanted one but got a TA instead.

Only thing that spoiled the AP for me was when some of the Raleigh freestyle team put some of those $hity GT Performer forks on  them.
Those guys must have been tripping or something. ::) ;D :LolLolLolLol:

Was only joking about the performer forks too, pete saw through my ploy.
They did use bottema, not that GT tat. ;D

And thanks Carl. My gardens not as big as johns though and I can't get them all in my car.
That's partly why I try to get the best pics I can when I go out with crappy 5 year old tin pot camera. :)

I can't see us burner boys ever converting everyone to burner love but if we can turn something out that just makes you think you like one a little bit more than you thought you might.
Then we'll settle for that :LolLolLolLol: :coolsmiley:

My bike shop was Watson and cairns in leeds and a similar story to you. I always remember the moment i 1st laid eyes on a Harry Leary Turbo in the flesh as a kid......my chin hit the floor and i think i was slavvering all over. :LolLolLolLol:
Nice collection there by the way. I think i want to end up with mine varied like that.
I think i will eventually end up with a couple of burners, a couple of foreign raleigh's and a couple of generic bmx when i start winding up. 8)
