So what's the difference between the:
Tuff
and
Super (with coaster tab)
Was the Super Tuff gold with black tuffs?
Great thread by the way. The night burner and extra burner were always my favourites :smitten:

The Tuff was the blue/yellow bike, with Skyway Tuff II's, this then became the Mag Burner replacing the Tuffs with the French made Simpkex 7 spoke wheels.
The Super Burner was gold, with gold wheels (weinmann's), gold chain wheel etc, the Super Tuff had black Tuffs and better spec.
By the time the Phase II, Mk1's had been released (1983), there were a few additions to the range:
Mini (chrome)
Extra
Night
Aero Pro (replacing Pro)
The biggest differences from Phase I's to Phase II's were that the pad sets had been replaced from vinyl with press studs to nylon/Velcro, the grips had changed from Viscount to Fuan (large dot type) on low end Burners, and Tange in the mid range bikes, the seats were changed from MX type, to 'Bmx' aero type, pedals were changed from rat traps, to Sugino Maxy Cross plastic ones, Cheng Shin snake bellies replaced by Cheng Shin Comp III's.

Could have been Rob, it's been a while since I looked at the spec lists, Glynn will correct me. :daumenhoch:

Blue / Yellow with tuffs.
Red / Yellow with spokes.
That was how I always remembered them to be.
Always liked the gold super burners.
