unless you are a burner fan it aint worth that

maybe not even if you are!!!

the burners (for me) that are worth grabbing are the ultras and super tuffs (or the aero pro!!!)

go check that goose
sounds good!!!
find out which model it is. if it's a grand prix it better be cheap.

if it's a super, pro class or cali, ave IT

oberonspacefruit:
my mate has just picked up a burner with skyways for a tenner. 99 is a bit pricey unless you really like them or it is immaculate.

100 quid will get you a half decent oldschool bike in my opnion, if you keep your eyes open and wait a bit.

NICKYSPLENDID:
when i was a nipper my mate had a mongoose (all yellow - skyways and all - wicked) and i had a diamond back.
we both thought that the burners minged....so i'm reluctant to go down the burner road, although for a tenner i'd bite the guys hand off.

i noticed a rather fetching GT Vertigo on the "bay"....i found some reviews that say it's not such a good bike..heavy etc.

theRuler:
old school heavy aint nothing like new school heavy!!!

it'll be fine!!

NICKYSPLENDID -

I would wait and build the bike that you had BITD - it'll mean more to you when it's finished then. There are loads of nice bikes out there, but none will bring back the memories quite like your old ride.

My advice would be to find some old pics of it, then focus yourself on re-creating the same bike.

I've just been through the same process with my Pro Performer, and belive me, I wasted some money on stuff that looked sweet but just wasn't right for the bike.

As with anything in life, it's all in the planning. Get your wish-list together and then stick to it! Eventually, you will find exactly what you want.

Hey, why not build the wish-list and then post it in the Wanted section...you'll be amazed what other members have in their sheds!

Good luck!

Dave
