Like most council estate kids BITD all i ever knew was the humble Raleigh Burner, ever since getting back into this hobby i've wanted to recreate my old bike but just never got round to it. Over the last few years i've been getting bits and pieces here and there and all i need to do now is get the frame, forks, bars and stem cap off to Dan for painting

The donor frame, forks and bars are from an Extra Burner which was actually given to me!

It will become a Catalogue special Burner GS

Like this but mine was a Gen 2 with the velcro nylon pads rather than the vinyl ones in the advert.

This will be a nice restoration project.

Don't think I've seen one done before.

Looking forward to seeing this built up Rob , it will be cool having the same bike you had as a kid again

At times like this I wish you'd post up a pic of that red bike

Should be a nice looking ride that Rob

Looking forward to this one Rob. Did you get sorted out with a seat clamp in the end?

part time · « **Reply #16 on:** July 01, 2015, 08:10 AM »

I had one of these back in the day, the grips were seriously unpleasant, my hands have never truly recovered. I hope you don't have original ones for this build

Can't wait to see it finished.....
