Would you expect anything else from me...??? :buck2: :buck2: :buck2:
I completed these builds for some other people last night.
Its been nice building for someone else for a change, and its been great sharing the progress of the builds with them.
They are TWO of my fave Mk1 models and I am very pleased with how they have turned out.
RALEIGH MK1 SUPER TUFF BURNER.

Both bikes are going to be ridden, hence the shiney sides on the Ultra and the Used chainring on the SUper Tuff.
I'd like to keep them both... but they will be with their new owners sometime in February.
The Ultra is wearing the NOS decals I stumbled across... see the guide marks for applying them.

Hope you guys like.
HUGE Thanks to buttsbikeshop in particular for all his help with chroming and anodising and to FHMReader for the Powder Coating and anyone else who I managed to get bits off for these builds.
Oh and jtsmooth for the wheel building... :daumenhoch:
There is another bike for someone else thats almost complete and should be finished over the weekend... and she's another beauty. :daumenhoch:
-
Whilst I can honestly say that I don't like burners at all :) I do have an eye for a nice build and you have done an absolutely beautiful job on these :4_17_5:
They just look like they came straight out of the Raleigh catalog my mate keith had when we were kids... top work.
-
My mate Gary had a mk1 super tuff and i had the mk1 ultra - the two bike that will live in my mind till the day i die
stunning woik the beard - both look super clean and fresh - can we get a full pic of the ultra please :smitten:
cheers B ;)
-
can we get a full pic of the ultra please :smitten:
cheers B ;)
There is one there...? :-\
I can see it anyway. :D

Is this scrapheap challenge?

Is this scrapheap challenge?
If it is you better get your bikes out... you depraved sexual pervert. :bondage:
-
I have to say, you do build a bike well :daumenhoch:.
Not my favourite bikes by any stretch but they do look like they have just come out of the factory :daumenhoch:
-
Top notch Dave! :daumenhoch:

didn't load for me the first time - came back and all there - sweet :angel:
-
You certainley know how to build a burner Dave , two more nice builds :daumenhoch:
Im sure their new owners are going to be made up with them :)
-
Stunning builds there Dave, well done mate :daumenhoch:
Burners are just so underrated in my opinion - the affordable bike for the masses back in the 80's :coolsmiley:
I mean, is there anyone on RAD that has never owned a Burner, I doubt it :shocked: :daumenhoch:
-
You can say what you will about 'em, and we all probably have, but both of those look fookin' lovely Dave.
Ok, maybe the geometry was all wrong, but they still looked good, well most of them :LolLolLolLol:
Top work fella, keep it coming :4_17_5:
-
never had a burner bitd, but these look sweet rides! :4_17_5:
-
I mean, is there anyone on RAD that has never owned a Burner, I doubt it :shocked: :daumenhoch:
Never owned a Burner :angel: I AM CLEAN :LolLolLolLol:
I started with a Puch Invader... at least that had a proper sized seat post >:D
-
a couple of nice clean builds there dave :4_17_5:
makes me want to build my first bmx ,,a silver and blue mk1 ultra burner :daumenhoch:
-
Ed - you have not lived till you've owned a Burner :coolsmiley:.......they stood for everything that was great about :Great_Britain:
...ok...allow me to revise...is there anyone on RAD that has ever owned a Burner, I doubt it (apart from 2) :2funny:

not guilty - only ever had a 1982 Silverfox which I put some non-year correct bits on
but did own a few of raleigh's finest creations - a mk1 and mk2 chopper and my first bike was a purple budgie :daumenhoch:
-
Budgies could welll be the best bikes of all time... :4_17_5:
Now we a talking OLD SCHOOL

That's the one :smitten: even the right seat - my dad had to look everywhere for one cos most of the ones available were in a kind of turquoise colour with a smooth seat (with chevron pattern on)
You've got me thinking now Ed - when I see my mom n dad this weekend gonna see if I can find some old bike pics in their stash of photos
loved my budgie!
-
Looking nicer than they would have left the factory :daumenhoch:
Great builds :4_17_5:
-
yeah, don't recall my ultra burner paint looking so sweet :4_17_5:
-
2 cracking builds David , and as always fantastic camera skills too :4_17_5:
I have to admit I've NEVER had a Burner myself , although that is about to change this week when hopefully I take delivery :shocked: :D
It was a toss up between 2 or 3 models ,always loved a black and gold MK1 Ultra , but I was swayed by what I consider the definative Burner icon ;)
See ya at BB2011 :)
My first bike was a Raleigh Grifter and I sstill own one :smitten:

both are first class :daumenhoch: can defo see the appeal especially when they look as good these :4_17_5:
-
Cheers Guys...
Got another for someone else that's gonna be complete later this weekend...
Thanks for the kind words...even if they are just Burners. :D
-
They look like two new bikes !!!!!!! ive seen lots of Black ultra's restored but not one Silver/blue yet ???? are they out there?????
-
Look sweet those Dave but correct me if I'm wrong, didn't the super tuff burner have the annodised chainwheel with the gold guard attached? ;)
-
they are wicked mate - true 80's icons :smitten:

Yep... I'm afraid your wrong... ;)
Mk1 Super Tuff Burner....

Mk2 Super Tuff Burner (came with a Black guard)
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/ab65/burnerworld5/Mk2-SuperTuff-84-1.jpg)
Maybe your getting the Super Burner mixed up... which DID come with a gold guard.

This is one of the best ones.... Julian Taff's....

I had one of this stupid chainwheels on my GS still don't get the reflector fixation though ;)
-
Thanks for that I got one for christmas :smitten: on Boxing day I went through the V bar doing a trick..........yes I went through it I snapped it clean off !!!!!!
-

Its not a fixation.... Burner collectors like to build factory spec models, they came from the factory with Reflectors :daumenhoch: on Christmas morning 1982 there it sat under the Christmas Tree with its nice little reflectors...
Yes most of us pulled them off by new year.... but when trying to build a bike that looks like it did in the Raleigh Brochure, them odd little reflectors are all part and parcel.
I've got some wheel reflectors for the Ultra Burner but haven't put them on yet... :buck2:

OUCH...!! the bars on the Ultra are very very light... Alloy, nice bars but I can understand why they'd give way... :laugh: :laugh:
-

Too right Dave... :daumenhoch: I know they weigh a tonne and the geometry is shocking... but it was my introduction to BMX and all I ever knew. :smitten:
Nostalgia trip every time I build a new one, and its been great building these for someone else. 8)
-
Lovely stuff Dave as always.
:daumenhoch:
-

-

-

Dave don't forget keep your eyes open for a tidy survivor BLUE "Johnny no name " Raleigh seat for me ;) ;) ;)
I'm sure more and more people are gonna do a Burner ::)
Never had one before ,,, but I do now :smitten:
Once I've got the seat it will be 100% factory spec ,, seems stupid taking the Kashimax MX off it , to put a copy one on :D
