I have never stripped a wheel to that extent before. I know there is plenty of information on doing so available online plus I seem to recall people upgrading their hubs/rims.
eBay time...

Just take your time mate, the hunt for parts, for me, is sometimes the best bit.
Use the Burner pages on FB*, if you have an account, there's bits coming up for sale every day.
*if you can stand seeing some horrific Burners with all manner of shite parts thrown on them, and the bars so far forward that only Mr Tickle could ride them.

Haha.. yep.. Ive seen those Burners.. :crybaby: I am trying to build as close to original as I can get on this. It could purchase a set of Skyways for it but I don't want to be seen as building a Super Tuff replica.
I searched for a good frame to start so there's no point in rushing really.

As you are refinishing it and adding new decals no one would ever know it wasn't a Super Tuff to begin with, the frame is no different. Make sure you get a pair of early alloy hubbed Skyways if you go down this route :daumenhoch:
fatalan:
I'll refinish I and just go with the super burner graphics. I do like st burners but I wanted to just to a straight forward build on this. There is likely to be quite a few repop bits on it to keep build cost down.
I just want to build this one up then move on to a bike I really want. I should imagine very few actually truly finish a bike.. There is always something to add or change.
Once built I will keep it anyway.
fatalan:
Small build update..
Looks like this will be going back to a Super Burner in Gold - Just got some Weinmann wheels from a Super Burner -

With gold rims. Will need re-doing but at least I know where I am going with it now..
