Well not so much of a find, but my friend had just dug this out of his parent's shed - his Raleigh Extra Burner from bitd! Still got the shop sticker on it too.

Nothing high-end or particularly desirable I know, but a nice little father and son project that should keep them busy for a while!

Classic !

Looks like they need to put a little TLC into that shed too

Very cool.

Take it to bit's, give it a good clean and back together again.

I'd love an extra burner

Nice find

That flat spot on the front rim will take some sorting though!

I hadn't noticed that!

His son thinks it'll be a quick turnaround but I reckon it's going to take them a lot longer!

That's very cool... I love the extra burner colours ... Awesome find!

Just done a google search, and the bike shop is still there

Excellent!

That's gotta be worth a visit in case he has stuff tucked away

That must be a really old pic as it's now a kebab shop

Shame could've taken it back and complained about the flat spot

It's brilliant to know that there are bikes still squirrelled away.

Good investigative work too Andy.

i love kebabs though, so it's still worth a visit
