So i thought i'd share my finished collection with you
I have 32 restored bikes, and 2 amazing survivors. 33 of them are Burners, and 1 is believed to be an australian rampar cruiser.
So i have a total of 34 bikes.
Been waiting for some decent weather to arrive, and this week was the perfect time to get them all out. Took me 5 hours in total to get them out, take pics and put them all away again.
I want to give my biggest thanks to Jon Abbott for doing most of my decals, as without him i couldn't have finished the bikes. Thanks to Steve (esemdesign) also for the last couple of sets of custom pads to finish my last 2 builds.
Thanks to everyone on here who has helped me - theres to many too mention.
Here we go, here some group shots. Dial up users beware-lots of pics!!
Here they are individually, starting with my holy grail, this is my favourite bike of them all, slightly customised , changed all the black bits for blue or white, but used the original parts
I always dreamed of what the colour scheme would look reversed on the team bike when i was a kid, if you reversed the red for the blue and vice versa- some years later, i tried it.
This aero pro is based on the team banana racing bike, Beards idea this one.
Heres my mint chrome aero pro. This hasn't been rechromed, couldnt believe it when i got this bike- cost me £200 2 and a half years ago.It was a pro race, but prefer the original decals, and swapped them.
This next custom aero pro was found at the tip, it was bought by radash for £2 and it looked like this
So i got it from him, got it rechromed and i turned it into this. All parts are correct but are blue instead of black.
Ok, this is my second fave bike, the Pro burner, this is original spec, been rechromed - won bike of the year on here 2005
Heres the same spec Pro burner but in red dress
And the same in black
Next up my mark one cro-mo burner, its been rechromed and it immaculate - another one of my faves
Heres another custom cromo mark one
And another
Heres one more, always liked the orange and chrome look. I now have a NOS orange kashi aero on it, just havent re taken the pic yet
Next up Original spec mark 2 Cro-mo, all rechromed and immaculate
Heres another mark 2 Cromo custom
And another- i did ride this for a while - nice bike. Original chrome and mint.
One more cro-mo mark 2 - not many of you will have seen this one. Its the 1985-86 championship model, came out the same time as the pro race aero pro's. I will put some more detailed pics up of this another time. This has been rechromed and is all original spec, except i had the rims chromed, added black spokes and chrome suzue hubs instead of alloy finish rims, chrome spokes and black suzue hubs. Big thanks to Steve for printing the pads for me
Right onto the more basic models now, starting with the red mark one original spec
Blue tuff burner with NOS yellow skyways original spec
Extra burner with skyways
This night burner mark one is a survivor original spec
So is this supertuff mark one, but have added some NOS parts original spec
Black and gold ultra burner mark one original spec
Silver and blue ultra original spec
Onto the mark 2's basic models, i've upgraded most of the mark 2's with better parts

Super burner, all original bar the kashimax aero seat and pedals. Massive thanks to Mark at impresiv finishing for the gold re-coating
Supertuff all original except for Dia-compe MX 1000 brake calipers, again recoated by Mark, and thanks to Paul (Burnermeister) for the NOS alloy hub skyways, and Parrishpaws (Mark) for the mint NOS Aeroyal. Also has NOS pads, thanks to Hillburner for those.
I wanted a super tuff to ride, so this is my supertuff rider, same as the other one, but with original calipers, still looks a show bike and again, thanks to Mark for doing the gold coating
This was my last build, finished last week,the mark 2 ultra, all original except the Dia compe mx 1000 calipers and the upgraded wheel hubs. Have suntour sealed hubs on them, so they are the same wheels as the aero pro.Thanks to Mark (Impresiv) for the paint job frame,forks and bars
And lastly the cruiser, its believed to be an Australian Rampar, so i based it look like the Pro Burner, again thanks to Steve for the pads and downtube decal.
Hope yopu enjoyed and thanks again to everyone who has helped me finish the collection
