burners were mini??

HEYWOOD BMX:
 Juniors these days have the same size (20 x 1 1/8) Things like the Mini Burner were more of a pit bike than say a JMC Mini.Original pit bikes (so I`m told) were scaled down versions of "proper" bikes,often 16"wheels but a larger frame than a Mini Burner-hope that makes sense.   

Andy68:
Weren't 16'' pit bikes for whizzing around the 'pits'?. I guess the equivalent of moto gp riders whizzing round on their factory stickered up peds. Mini/Juniors been 20'' race bikes for the little ones, 1/8 and 3/8 rims.  :daumenhoch:
