Is it a Burner frame & forks?

Looks more like an AKISU frameset to me...

Hello i was told when i brought the frame and folks is was a 80's Releigh.

Well I know a fair bit about Raleigh's (not seen many Releigh's though  :D)

If you post up some decent pictures of the frame incl. drop outs.. I can tell you for sure.

If its oval tubing and there is an 'R' cut out in the rear drop outs then its a MK2 Burner... but squinting at your pictures all I can see is a little triangle and what looks to be a brace between the chainstays at the rear of the BB... if thats the case it aint NO Burner.

Yes it has triagles cut out in the frame and the front forks have 3 holes in line .

It also has numbers stamp on the frame under the crack housing.

What frame do you think it is ?

Crack House? where do you live?

The pics are too small to make a positive ID but the drop outs look like AKISU style...

dropouts remind of 1983 Akisu or Raleigh DXR
backstays and brake mount (?) look a lot like 1983 Raleigh R2500  ---which, again, has no oval tubing  :-\

guess i need to find me a crack housing
