Title: My 1984 Raleigh Team Aero Pro Build
Post by: Stodgy on February 17, 2008, 03:44 PM: 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.

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.
