The cheapest burner back in the day was still around the £100 mark which was a fair bit of money back then

think mine was a touch under £100. in the early 80s that was a heap of money for my mum and dad. That's a lot of money to my mum NOW!

Look at these bad boy's courtesy of that well known bike retailer Halfords - Â£109.95 for an entry level race machine and Â£83.95 for a not so serious kids one

I dunno what Â£109.95 back then equates to these day....but it was a lot of wonga

Its a pro burner......the most sought after and feared Burner known to mankind

And to be clear, thats a NON AERO Pro Burner! A mk1 (Non Aero) Pro Burner!!

I think you can count the remaining ones on a pair of hands
(I think someone has actually counted up the known remaining ones!)

38759 known in existance at the last count

I dont get it? Are you seriously saying you think there are loads of these frames around, or are you just looking to fall out with people?

And then down to the Boardoom at Leicester straight afterwards Joe

JT71 · « **Reply #61 on:** March 31, 2011, 01:55 PM »

I'll probably take Mrs 71 home first.

But Leicester ain't far for me anyways.

StellaAtoiz · « **Reply #62 on:** March 31, 2011, 03:35 PM »

No sorry, my typo, 38 I think is the known amount of these according to the burner forum.

I would have thought the price would have risen a bit by now $:-\$

Can anyone identify what the other bike is?

Spen69 · « **Reply #63 on:** March 31, 2011, 03:45 PM »

It's a Mongoose Cali Jase looking at the rear drop-outs and forks, but the wheels don't look like ProClass. Bad picture really, but let's face it, no-one cares about the 'Goose

StellaAtoiz · « **Reply #64 on:** March 31, 2011, 04:10 PM »

Cheers spen

I love a Cali me....one day I shall own one...one day

Sod it - I'm bored - just stuck a monkey on it....and I am in the lead at £370.00

ED209 · « **Reply #66 on:** March 31, 2011, 04:29 PM »

Lets put the Burner back in the bag... with a brick.
Any rivers nearby?

Are they the bikes that hold the record for most seatposts stuck ever?

i got hold of this lot some time ago when i collected a mountain bike from somebody.They offered them to me to get it out of their way.but not fully knowing its value and intended stripping everything and restoring it to relive my youth!
