Just bought a Raleigh Super Tuff burner from a guy who's had it in his shed for I dont know how long.
It's literally got all the stock parts except the back tyre, Unbelievable and it seems like this bike has been in a time machine.
It has rust and pitting here and there and the gold is peeling but other than that just needs a good clean...What to do, build it or sell it? mmmmm
-
Give it a good clean then decide, also jim350i is on the look out for a super tuff project :daumenhoch:
-
Yeah was thinking i'd clean it tomorrow... Cheers for the heads up mate :)
-
I could do with the Tuffs for mine if you want to split...!!

Possibly interested in bars and seat if you split :daumenhoch:

What I can hear it saying is 'I have survived this long...but the years have taken their toll!I am willing to take one for the team,and will rest in peace knowing that my parts have gone to save my fellow Super tuff bretherin and ensure they have a long,happy life!' :daumenhoch: :D

Don't split it, I did it to a survivor Ultra once, and regretted it. :-[

Dude
you cant split it! I will restore it to its former glory, how it was supposed to be. It hasn't died, organs not for sale surely.
PM me and we can discuss the Yen?

I'm with you guys, I may sell it as is to someone who wants to restore or restore it myself :-)

It will also save on time not stripping and all the arsing about multiple packaging and posting - I fooking despise that. >:(
-
another plus :D

Fook me the bars are fooked anyway!!I agree with the others,it is a nice original survivor much like the one I found my mate a little while ago.We just ended up putting a new bb,headset,chain,cables,pads n tyres on it and it rides mint.I stripped the gold off the bars as it was peeling bad,hence i was asking about yours.If you decide to go down the resto route,the gold finish-which is a translucent powdercoat is £90 to get re-done,you will have to strip the old gold off though and give the frame a polish beforehand.We were just too lazy and he wants to ride it with his kids so decided we would do a full resto in a few years once he has had some fun on it!Original parts are reasonably priced too and easily available. :daumenhoch:

I remember buying these just to nick the tuffs off and flog the rest on again (sometimes with the Raleigh mags on) £70 was about the going rate 10 years ago!
