Raleigh Mini Burner MkII (finished)

(1/4) > >>

maca:
After having got myself a Andy Ruffell Team Special I thought it would be nice to build my Daughter one. Ok so it was a bit of an excuse as she won't be able to ride it for at least another year or so as shes not even 3 until march :) But also these little ones seem to be getting harder to find and getting more expensive.

So just before Christmas I picked this up for the small sum of £50



As you can see it had seen better days, but I really only wanted the MkII frame from it.

To start with the idea had been to do a pink and white team bike, but knowing my daughter she would rather have one that is identical to her dads so we decided to keep it blue and white and make it a ruffell one like mine.
Spent a bit of time stripping it down



Primed and painted it myself over the holidays





I then had an idea, it would be nice to get some custom sigs done for the front forks instead of having the ruffell ones. so I spoke to the guy that did my ones and he said yes he could do it.

A few days ago I got my custome decals





Also got a gold 39t sugino chainring on it and a refurbed aeroyal mini.

Its coming along and I'm pleased with it so far. Any comments on it so far welcome

Taipan:

That's a belter! Looking forward to seing that completed.
I'm planning on doing matching mark 2 burners for me and my son. Our lad's only 11 months this week so I've got a bit of time.
I'm hoping for something like this but with mark 2s:

Mini Burners are a great way to start these young RADsters off.  :daumenhoch:
