Okay guys... I don't imagine for a minute this is worth £2k...

But I just thought I would share with you my latest build..

Winner: BIKE OF THE SHOW - BURNER BASH 06

It won't be everyones thing, but hey!... [cue the Burner Haters! - step forward Mr.Radhab etc etc]

Special thanks to the following: Julian Taff, Dave Mac & Cbrgil.. :wink:

Hope you all like her... Apart from the padset, she is all my own work.. Painted every component myself and loved every minute of it... Except spraying the seat clamp for the 4th time!!

- I agree 100%

Nice to see a twist - I like it... Personal thing though - I'd change the grips to black, I like the collar and cuffs (seat and grips) should match...

other than that - top job fella...

I have a Yellow Kashi Aero for it.. But wasn't happy with the Colour Match... Will maybe fit the yellow seat and see what others think...

Jesus - these burners are like weeds in a garden. They're everywhere, stifling the 'beautiful plants' just like in the 80's. Weed Killer, that's what this site needs

Actually, I like that. It's a very nice, quality bike with excellent attention to detail. Was the Tange 125 recycled?

A bit of thought goes a long way... fantastic bike

Cheers Gents...

I wanted something that was different to the standard team colours... but still something that was 'Raleigh'...

So Team Banana was the order of the day...

Beard you know i love a Burner , and the aero pro is the best of the bunch.

I am split on the colours TBO , i love the attention to detail top notch work fella and now i have seen the racer in raleigh colours its growing on me , I like the fact thats its raleigh colours , i would put a sugino 1 piece

but thats my preference to stock part a Burner, jeez my aero pro has never seen the light due to stickers not being made that match 100% ( soon fixed thought)

Love the collection mate , u are so passionate about the mighty Burner and well done on the best of show , well deserved
