It is not... its never seen 'original'....
He is altering the description by the hour!!! its been recoated... the decals are cheap copies... the padset is a repro... the pedals are wrong as is the seatpost..
The fork decals are upside down and no wonder he has wrapped the seat in cling film... the aeroyal decal is about 2" too far back.... an original aeroyal was stamped with hotfoil...
He selling its as a 20+ year old survivor... its a resto!!! someones in for a shock...

Its the "Lets restore this bike so it looks like its just come out the factory" approach...
Alot of the bikes you guys build never came as complete bikes, just frame & forks, so they never had thing like reflectors, chain guards etc... so you wouldn't want them on a bike.
And for those bikes that did come as complete bikes, I am sure like many Burner owners you ripped them straight off... I think the thing is, that 95% of the Burner collectors were not freestyle riders or racers BITD, it more a nostagia thing than anything... so to have a bike that you had as kid in just the same condition as when you picked it up in 1982 is a thrill...
I won't deny we are a strange bunch... but hey... horses for courses... it takes all sorts... :daumenhoch:

At least 3 of us have reported it to eBay and we have bombarded the seller with emails!!!
The plan is to bid the thing through the roof with some dodgy accounts and leave him with no sale... unless he pulls the plug early.

I love the attention to detail the burner guys have with the things like reflectors , chain guards and the likkle raleigh spanners
its minty mint fresh from the shop floor kinda approach, and I love it its like an MG with the original MOTs and log books , its the little things

CARBO-SPEC TRACK TESTED TUBING

Super Tuffs along with the Ultra Burner and Aero Pro Burner were Full Chromoly.
He has obviously read that off the 'incorrect' sticker that he has placed at the base of the seat post tube... What a toilet!!! :idiot2:

It's one of the many reasons why I like sites like this. If I am looking for something, you can bet someone on here knows their stuff and can point out fakes etc. :daumenhoch:
