looks good 'the funny thing is the first thing i did to my burner in 1982 was pull off that chainguard

jimmyp · « **Reply #4 on:** January 11, 2007, 12:07 PM »

Yeah just wanted to get it like it would have been in the shops back in 1985

Them Raleigh lads go mad over those chainguards, they cost a fortune, lucky it was still on the bike when i got it.

It's a specific sized guard for the aero pro and made of metal. There are others which look similar that are found on the super burner for example. But if it's the larger kind and reasonable cond. then I think it would fetch £50+

That bike is awesome, as dave said, I too thought mine was in good nick... but chrikey... That's mint !!

Have you done ant touch ups or any kind of resto apart from a general clean ?

jimmyp · « **Reply #17 on:** January 11, 2007, 01:07 PM »

Yeah, the back end had some nasty scratches on that need touching up but apart from the odd touch up here and there it is as it was

The one I have is the smaller metal one from a Super Tuff Burner - oh well, can't give up the day job just yet
