what's it worth
« on: November 28, 2006, 08:28 PM »
O K guy's what would a 1982 raleigh fire burner (the white one with misted red) be worth in the following condition:

All parts original....even the break levers which I used to snap about every 8 weeks! :LolLolLolLol:
Paint scuffed in the usual places forks, rear loop's chain guard. :(
All chrome totaly shot, even wheels. ???
Seat scuffed and grips slightley split. :'(
Steam pad missing :-\

I have been asked to make an offer on it and I'm not sure what to go in at.
And before any one say's don't bother this bike has a special place in my heart as it was my first BMX. :4_17_5:

Many thanks.

can't ever remember a fire burner?? 

but by the sound of your description i'd go for about £20?

sounds like you've got to do quite a bit of work to get it back to it's original state?

Raleigh Extra Burner... [this one belongs to me..]

I paid £62 for this on eBay 2 years ago... was my first BMX too...
Obviously spent a few quid restoring it...

Not everyone's cup of tea.. especially on here but for sentimental reasons... I love her...  :smitten:

You gotta love the old MKI burners.........i was the proud owner of the catalogue GS! BITD.....and i loved it soooooooo much you would've had to prize it out of my dead fingers to have got it off me!

Obviously with our new found funds at our age, we over look this british 80's icon....but id buy a GS if i could find one  :smitten:

And BITD it must've bankrupt my mum and dad to get me this!

seen quite a few on the bay of late mate.....seem to go for anything around £20-£60??

I can remember when the extra burner came out............in Stevenage at Bowes Lion skate park we all rushed over to Halfords in the town centre to have a look at it in the window.........then went in to see what cheap Landar crap we could nick!  ;)

Thats the one :daumenhoch:

Thanks for the advise and way cool pics guys....paid £30.00 for it today I think I'll just put some alex rims I've got kickin around on it and race it over the winter, then start a restoration in the spring.

If anyone has a stem pad for it let me know.
