Having 10 mini burners in various stage of build, I thought it was about time I started to get another in order as my lad just turned 4. I'm currently working on a mini tema burner for him, and have primed and painted the mk2 frameset in white...but whilst I was up in the loft one of his chrome mk2 minis started calling, "what about me? Stop ignoring me."
So, having already tinkered with it in the past, I thought I'd have another play. This is what I started with:
I bought a set of 16" raleigh wheels from Retrorides a couple of years ago with the intention of putting them on a mk1, but the axel was too wide for the front forks so I thought I use them on this chrome mk2 as they are really nice wheels with blue spoke nipples and Araya decals.
So after stripping the frame, I swapped the black chain ring for a blue one and fitted a blue aeroyal seat and some blue and grey dot drips.
Together with her bigger brother, the towing machine!
Then finally finished with cromo decals, brakes, blue chain, white pedals and padset. I hope you like it.
The skyways are already on his mini skyway build and the other black parts will eventually find their way on to his other mk2 chrome frameset which has the original decals...one day.
