Had to dig out some photos from Mums. Here it is
Diamond Back Pro
Mines one on top one.
Knowle '81-82 Mum caught me smoking n hanging out with wrong crowd after getting bored roller skating (we used same ramps built for BMX ruining my garden). We struck a deal that I'd ride this and do my best at school. Sheet that was a lot of money! But true to my word I met a group of Radsters over the car park. Then started going Redditch and Wheels but I have no shots of that. Last pic is after winning that Halfords Tim March Jersey at Benfleet Essex track after racing Sid Salisbury. Not long after I got 'that' Ripper frame built with same parts.
I sold the DB frameset and traded bits after that. Bloody good bike and regret selling it at all but I did seriously love that Ripper!
Jonboy Stay RAD and BMX Forever

I've still got mine from bitd :)
It's a lowly catalogue / dealer only model , so are quite 'uncommon' ...... Raleigh Burner GSX .
Here's the beast in 2008 after a nearly 25 year long battle with my ol' fella to banish it from his garage ......
And here it is fully restored at BurnerBash 2011 , where it took first place in the MK1 Factory Spec category :4_17_5:
