You'd be hard pushed to find another of the same spec and condition Chris.

I know there will be some on here that won't appreciate it, but it's an iconic bike.

Lovely mate.

I'll never let you forget you've said that Mizog.

Even when we're in our 90's, sat in our own piss and shit, I'll remind you of this day.

Proper that Chris... proper.

It's a British BMX icon

A lovely original bike there...priceless

Everytime I see a burner it brings back such haappy memories...I'm sure I'm going to succumb sooner rather than later

Bloody hell, that's off the corner near the shop back in `81!!!

bet you daren't touch the grips, they fell apart when new!!

Its the only standard burner I'd ever want, purely iconic, even though my first was an early mk1 super tuff.

Love it.
