Whats on the way Zippy ??? another burner re-issue :-\ ive got one of these still boxed up and it will stay that way for a while yet, as my mates got one and the parts are cheap, not even tange grips just copies! nice frameset and wheels though. The welds are alot neater than the old burners

They are sweet grips... yes they were copied from the original tange grips, but have had the Raleigh logo moulded into them instead... and in most people's opinion they have been one of the few plus points (frame & forks aside)... nice soft compound as well...
Original CAD drawings...
Sample grips...
Can't fault the frame and forks.... (mind you... I am a little biased... ;) )

To be fair i didnt see that on the pads :-[ the brake pads are just tektro black pads nothing special. :P
gmac:
I've bought one to leave in the box. Seemed like a bargain at £249 to me, considering about £70 - £80 of that is the Tuffs.
Zippy:
Just race prepped mine for the Burner race at MK. :daumenhoch:
SteveG:
Shame about the brake pads, although saying that they ought to be fairly good on tuffs can't sell a new bike with nasty brakes.
I had a look round a few burner sites and they are also doing the up to date version with an alloy frame, doesn't look too bad.
