Ha ha Stratton...!! I remember those. Plenty of blue and yellow ones round my area in the mid 80's.
I had an 82 puch gti turbo. I have an excellent survivor example, crude but cute.

At the time I thought my Statton looked so pansy even with the star patten pads taken off.
And all my m8's had Burners and used to tell me my bike looked alright. Fooking scared me for life that bike !.
In the end I swapped it for a frame that I had no money to build so eventually it got thrown.
I did manage to do a pots mod on it though.

Just sayin :-X
Anyways pretty sure mine was a red and yellow burner though i remember it having cobra style grips with hexagon shaped ends ???

I think (for me) that low end bikes can still be pricey... I love mongoose wire wheels but so far I have spent just as much as I did on my street beat for example. As I wanted/am trying to find era specific or factory parts. in all honesty I have found it harder to find factory parts that are in good nick. It's easier to buy a pro neck or suntour stem then it is to buy a wire wheel stem(probably all thrown in the bin :LolLolLolLol:)
What needs to change maybe is the opinions of low spec bikes, its a
Bmx at the end of the day and its history. You can't beat that feeling of riding the same bike you had as a kid.
Low spec or top of the range... Doesn't Matter ,as they are just as important as each other.
