MK 1 Piranha wheels !
-
Agree with the wheels and it looks like a MK1 Burner to me.

DEFINITELY Not a Mk1 Burner... No Rear Looptails??!!
Gusset is similar to Mk1 Burner... But holes look smaller.. ???
Somebody on here must recognise it.. U guys are genius when it comes to OSBMX... ;)
-
well piranhas did have a simular gusset as the burner
so it could be a early piranha then
-
My thoughts:
- The wheels are early Mk1 Acorns.
- The frame is a boat anchor.
-
the wheels are acorn magnums, for sure
the frame, well . . . some dirtburner ironhorses come with acorns? grim . . .
-
i'd pay a quid for it

the pirahnas had them metal banana spoked wheels btw
each wheel weighed 40 pounds. the qe2 used 4 of them as a keel
-
the bike is a mk2 ironhorse dirt burner with acorns,i used to have one,bag of sh*te,wouldnt pay a penny for it...the wheels are nylon & weigh about an ounce and are as strong as lollysticks
-
there we have it then
the dirtburner ironhorse.
i had some of those acorns too. they were flexy, to say the least. but only 19.99 so you get what you pay for.
-
im 100% sure its a piranha - ive enclosed a photo of me late autumn 82 ish, on mine - my scanner is knackered so bare with me, im on the pirhana with DB gear on - which was a bit of a hint to my mum that i wanted a silverstreak for christmas - bless her i got one, excuse the picture but thought id have a bash

Dude, the luggage rack ruins the lines of your ride....
-
lmfao orb

I am pretty sure I used to have a dirtburner, but that was red with yellow pads, don't remember seeing them in chrome at all (or black).
It's a long time ago though and my memory is rubbish.
-
The name Dirtburner doesn't ring any bells with me??!!
I remember Iron Horse... I thought they were called Iron Horse Mud Cruncher. (Maybe I am dreaming)
They look like this:- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=22677&item=7161441316&rd=1
Rear loop tails, unlike this 99p old thing....
Who knows.... :P :P
-
Can't really remember anything about the frame (might even have been blue thinking back ???) but it must have been '84 ish
-
just thought i would let you all know,its an ironhorse dirt burner,the first one came in red
7 blue with yellow mags,the second edition came in black with white mags,i cant work out how to post a picture or i would show you the same bike new as i have a picture of mine when i was a kid..
-
