Agree with the wheels and it looks like a MK1 Burner to me.

DEFINITELY Not a Mk1 Burner... No Rear Looptails??!!
Gusset is similar to Mk1 Burner... But holes look smaller..  ???

Somebody on here must recognise it.. U guys are genius when it comes to OSBMX...  ;)

My thoughts:

- The wheels are early Mk1 Acorns.
- The frame is a boat anchor.

there we have it then
the dirtburner ironhorse.

i had some of those acorns too. they were flexy, to say the least. but only 19.99 so you get what you pay for.

I am pretty sure I used to have a dirtburner, but that was red with yellow pads, don't remember seeing them in chrome at all (or black).

It's a long time ago though and my memory is rubbish.

The name Dirtburner doesn't ring any bells with me??!!

I remember Iron Horse... I thought they were called Iron Horse Mud Cruncher. (Maybe I am dreaming)

They look like this:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=22677&item=7161441316&rd=1

Rear loop tails, unlike this 99p old thing....

Who knows....  :P :P

Can't really remember anything about the frame (might even have been blue thinking back  ???) but it must have been '84 ish
