What raleigh frame is this?

<< < (2/5) > >>

Zippy:
MK2's were resonably ok just odd angls on the frame.

It was the MK1's that were carved from solid lead.

They weren't ALL Full Cromo.

Lower spec models were Carbo Spec (Hi tensile Steel)
Mid spec models were MT Cromo (Main Tubes Cromo)
High End models were Full Cromo.

MK2 Standard Burner (Steel Rims & Spokes) - Carbo Spec = 14.1kg (31lb)
MK2 Chrome Burner (Steel Rims & Spokes) - MT Cromo = 14.1kg (31lb)
MK2 Ultra Burner (Alloy Rims & Spokes) - FULL CROMO = 12.7kg (28lb)

The Full Cromo Models were 1. Ultra Burner 2.Super Tuff Burner 3. Aero Pro Burner (Tange Frame) 4. Cromo Burner (Koisumi Frame)

Bit sad I know...  :P

I know they get ripped on here (and deep down I understand why...  :D), but its the nostalgia of the things I love...  :coolsmiley:

hey beard
bit of a tangent, but did the ultra have a different hub on the back (compared to the front) ?
