i want one
so let me get this straight
just being a member of the burner forum WONT
get you an advance order, you have to be a member of
the burner club?
how do i get one?
we don't have a local Raleigh shop

Dwain - you need to sign up at

http://www.burnerworld.co.uk/merchandise.htm

Cheers Dave, thats right.

All we ask is for a nominal £3 fee which we put towards the cost of our public liability insurance for our annual "Burner Bash" event that Beard and I organise.

This is totally independant of the Burner forum which isn't owned by us. In return for helping Raleigh on this project, they said that they would allow our members to pre-order one of the new bikes to ensure everyone that wanted one, got one.

Pre-order forms will be distributed in the next week or 2.

I like that a lot, although most of it will be swapped out for old school kit like Dia Compe brakes Redline cranks and a proper kashi. Oh and spoked wheels as well.

Will look the bollox though.

Are those Tange grips?

Not original Tange, no.

The pic below shows a 3D representation of how they will look. We saw them on Saturday and they are superb! The Tange logo on the ends have been replaced by an updated version of Raleigh's "R" logo, and as you can see the inset Tange text has been replaced with "Raleigh" also.

The feel of the grips is unbelievable. They are super soft...much, much softer than the Tange ones.

They have done such a good job copying the grips, could this not be done an the other parts as well. Even if it did cost a little bit more, would just finnish the job off. The stem looks great as well

davemac1974 · « **Reply #185 on:** January 16, 2007, 11:11 PM »

We've raised questions on the seat, brakes, seatclamp and pedals.

The guy running the project is a top bloke, and I believe him when he says he'll do his best. The bottom line is that if they have to make new toolings for many of the parts to get them as near identical as possible, the bike will end up nearer £500. You'll still get people who aren't happy then.

At £250 its top value, and will be great to see people swap parts to their own preference. I guess we may get a few Ruff'a'likes.

Just in case you can't be arse to follow the link...

That actually looks quite good

beard1973 · « **Reply #188 on:** January 17, 2007, 11:31 AM »

I have some more pictures that I took while we at Raleigh, once they have circulated these promo images I will post my pics up for you all to see.

I know I am biased but its a very nice bike, feels proper Old School but with minor modern touches..

Zippy · « **Reply #189 on:** January 17, 2007, 01:33 PM »

2007 just kicked off with the best start ever. I feel about 12 again

I 5think Raleigh are going to have to make a few more than 200 to satisfy demand.

Although keeping the numbers low will improve the cachet of them somewhat.

Now can I afford 2

The Head of the Project at Raleigh has put his heart and soul into this project and he deserves massive praise... He has been put under immense pressure by those in charge at Raleigh and he has fought tooth and nail to keep this project alive.

I too think these bikes will sell very quick.. The 250 that have been set into production should sell easily..

I fancy two myself....

A rider and a minter...
