Not To Everyone's Taste - Burner Content.
« on: January 06, 2013, 07:36 PM »
Ok, so Burners aren't regarded as BMX's by some RAD members, but they I loved them BITD, although never had one, and love them now. :smitten:

Don't bash my thread, if you don't like Burners, then move on. :yahoo_silent:

I could have put this in the budget build off thread as it was a cheapo build, but that's all it was ever intended to be, just a budget rider.

The frame and forks were in the shed and had been for about 4 years, I took them in lieu of payment from a BW member. The wheels were off my Haro FST - now sold. The seat is off my Supergoose - now blue etc, etc.





Frame & forks - 1984 Raleigh MT CroMo - powdered for £40 by my mate Dave.
Decals - £11 off eBay
Bars - off Snav
Grips - used Tange off a BW member
Wheels - used Tuff IIs
Seat - repop Kashi Aero
Seat post - off Rooski
Seat clamp - Suntour Arrow off Brummie
Pedals - Victor off my white Performer
Crank - 1 piece Sugino from my Street Beat
Spider - Sugino off my Street Beat
Chainring - 40t Sugino with machined teeth off Badbaldie
Bolts - unbranded
Stem - rough as SR, refurbed and powdered satin black
Headset - £14 Nikyo off eBay
Brakes - £20 MX1000/Tech 3 copy set off eBay with retrospect decals.
Tyres - 1.75 Comp III copies £9 the pair off eBay.
Chain - KMC from my LBS

Cheers to Paul, Dave, Andy and Lenny for the bits. :Great_Britain: :daumenhoch:

Not much Stu, £200 on a good day. I picked up a frame and forks the other week for £35. With more in parts. :daumenhoch:

I still need to set the brakes up properly on this with some decent cables.

I forgot to mention the plate was bought off Nathan (macmnia) about 2 years ago, I stripped it down, lost the Velcro  ::) took the original decal off, and replaced it with one made by NeilVW, bought some Velcro off eBay and painted the mesh black myself. The Aero 1 is off Jai. 8)

Gotta say this is my favourite colour scheme on a burner, I still want a Ruffell rep with twin top tube bars as that was the burner I wanted as a kid, but I had a super burner instead

+1 x 2  :D

I like the Team colours - reminds me of the top expensive spec in the catalogue - and longing for one as a kid.  I also had a Super Burner but never picked off all the gold - forgot what they used to call that - superchrome or some other BS  :)

Well I appreciate your opinion, but as a non Burner fan (but I do own one, see below), I think it is a well thought out colour scheme.  :daumenhoch:

Fine example there Dan!  Nice work bud!

Im with you on the "horrible to ride" bit, I always found they were too short...out of balance almost if you know what I mean?  I bought a Mk1 burner ages ago and that felt like riding a 6 year olds bike so i moved it on sharpish! lol.

But saying all that....I do like the classic look!
