Sadly buddy, that is what is known as a POS (Pile of S***). It would be okay for a kid to just kick around on and trash, but for us heavier adults, it wouldn't stand the test of time if you were actually doing anything on it.

Personally, I would donate it to a kid on the street after making those fork caliper mounts safe, and look for something a little more in the quality range.

Sorry to be blunt buddy  :-[

That Swan Guy:
As Terry said, don't waste your time with it, especially as the front forks are bent!

Welcome to RAD mate!
A Burner won't be much better than what you have unless it's an Aero Pro. The standard Burner geometry is rubbish and you will be pretty much wasting your time... the tuffs may be worth saving off that bike you have and putting on something a bit better.....
Most old school stuff is not that good to ride seriously...if you wanted to do anything other than just lark about with your boy you would be better off with a new school bike.... :daumenhoch:
