They look like the cheap Skyway Utility wheels, designed for wheelchairs, wheelbarrows and the like

.

Typical Raleigh though, take a good concpet and fcuk it up, just like they did bitd

Surprised they ain't done some dodgy Diamondback retro build yet....

i like they way they just chucked the seat and crankset on it like they didnt give a fook,

"slap any old shit on.........those muggy old school kunts will buy anything......"

the only thing they've stuck to is the fact thats its a complete and utter piece of shit,

just like the original burners

gobshite · « **Reply #9 on:** January 24, 2011, 01:11 PM »

some poor kid could end up trying to ride that.

The whole retro/repro/reissue thing has been done to death now - and in the process killed the reputation and enigma of the brands we held dearly. It's a crying fooking shame.

The only company who has sucessfully re-issued something without killing itself is S&M with the Dirtbike.

firebird · « **Reply #12 on:** January 24, 2011, 01:18 PM »

why are they calling them skyways?

the mk1 tuff had skyways, the mk2 mag burner had simplex mags

I think this is trying to be a bit of both

the know that if it says skyway on it, the old school will jump on it.

HEYWOOD BMX · « **Reply #18 on:** January 24, 2011, 01:29 PM »

Have to agree,all the Raleigh so called reissue/anniversary bikes,Choppers included are just cheapo vague imitations.

brettypeeps · « **Reply #19 on:** January 24, 2011, 01:45 PM »

They look worse in the flesh. The pads are diabolic

Retro gone bad

will try and have a look after work - not sure if I fancy a 'rad-job' though

Stodgy · « **Reply #23 on:** January 24, 2011, 02:49 PM »

Have you seen the Super Tuff Burner as well...WTF is going on with the tyres? All black? All blue on the mag burner...can even be arsed to put skinwalls on them now.

Really this is disgusting.

I thought some of the other retro shite was shite. But these are really shite.

JT71 · « **Reply #24 on:** January 24, 2011, 02:58 PM »

there was a Tuff burner and a Mag Burner wasn't there?

whatever, who the fokk thought a black seat would be a good idea?
other than that some kids will love having that bike, just it's a little too pricey for what it is.

you know.............these re-issues......it's OUR fault....I mean you know, Burnerworld and RAD and all this interest in old bikes has fuelled this!

lol.
