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...

well piranhas did have a simular gusset as the burner
so it could be a early piranha then

My thoughts:

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

theRuler · « **Reply #6 on:** August 22, 2005, 08:44 PM »

the wheels are acorn magnums, for sure

the frame, well . . . some dirtburner ironhorses come with acorns? grim . . .

theRuler · « **Reply #7 on:** August 22, 2005, 08:46 PM »

i'd pay a quid for it

the pirahnas had them metal banana spoked wheels btw
each wheel weighed 40 pounds. the qe2 used 4 of them as a keel

the bike is a mk2 ironhorse dirt burner with acorns,i used to have one,bag of sh*te,wouldnt pay a penny for it...the wheels are nylon & weigh about an ounce and are as strong as lollysticks

theRuler · « **Reply #9 on:** August 22, 2005, 10:33 PM »

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.

im 100% sure its a piranha - ive enclosed a photo of me late autumn 82 ish, on mine - my scanner is knackered so bare with me, im on the pirhana with DB gear on - which was a bit of a hint to my mum that i wanted a silverstreak for christmas - bless her i got one, excuse the picture but thought id have a bash

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.

beard1973 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 23, 2005, 10:25 AM »

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....

tr8theshape · « **Reply #15 on:** August 23, 2005, 10:35 AM »

Can't really remember anything about the frame (might even have been blue thinking back

) but it must have been '84 ish

weston · « **Reply #16 on:** August 23, 2005, 01:14 PM »
