They look like the cheap Skyway Utility wheels, designed for wheelchairs, wheelbarrows and the like ::).
Typical Raleigh though, take a good concpet and fcuk it up, just like they did bitd :LolLolLolLol:
Surprised they ain't done some dodgy Diamondback retro build yet....
-
oh dear,
this is a copy of the mk2 mag burner not the mk1 tuff burner with the skyways,
-
i like they way they just chucked the seat and crankset on it like they didnt give a fook,
"slap any old shit on.........those muggy old school kunts will buy anything......"
the only thing they've stuck to is the fact thats its a complete and utter piece of shit,
just like the original burners :daumenhoch:
-
come on,
look at that fooking thing,
some poor kid could end up trying to ride that.

oh dear,
this is a copy of the mk2 mag burner not the mk1 tuff burner with the skyways,

The whole retro/repro/reissue thing has been done to death now - and in the process killed the reputation and enigma of the brands we held dearly. It's a crying fooking shame.
The only company who has sucessfully re-issued something without killing itself is S&M with the Dirtbike.
-
why are they calling them skyways? ::)
the mk1 tuff had skyways, the mk2 mag burner had simplex mags
I think this is trying to be a bit of both

the know that if it says skyway on it, the old school will jump on it.
-
classic ;D

:LolLolLolLol:
-
"The Mag Burner was a legend in its own time" ..... ;D ;D ;D ;D that's a hoot :LolLolLolLol:
-
can someone p-chop "BUMMER" onto the downtube instead of "burner" please?
i can pay in rad-jobs/coins....
-
:( Have to agree,all the Raleigh so called reissue/anniversary bikes,Choppers included are just cheapo vague imitations.
-
They look worse in the flesh. The pads are diabolic
Retro gone bad :10_2_12:
-
the ultimate POS :daumenhoch:
-
those muggy old school kunts will buy anything......"

will try and have a look after work - not sure if I fancy a 'rad-job' though :D
-
Have you seen the Super Tuff Burner as well...WTF is going on with the tyres? All black? All blue on the mag burner...can even be arsed to put skinwalls on them now.
Really this is disgusting.
I thought some of the other retro shite was shite. But these are really shite.
-
there was a Tuff burner and a Mag Burner wasn't there?
whatever, who the fokk thought a black seat would be a good idea?
other than that some kids will love having that bike, just it's a little too pricey for what it is.
you know.............these re-issues......it's OUR fault....I mean you know, Burnerworld and RAD and all this interest in old bikes has fuelled this!
lol.
-
Why re-issue something that was crap back then.... shit just got sloppier :idiot2:
-
you know.............these re-issues......it's OUR fault....I mean you know, Burnerworld and RAD and all this interest in old bikes has fuelled this!
Very true, but with all the information and resources available to be able to get it right...we can't be to blame for the shoddy shite they put out.
-
isnt that a mish mash of both gens?'the blue tuff burner had a gusset and the next gen the super tuff and no gusset and was gold and black??horrible whatever!!
-
they can't give em away!! someone on ebay selling before xmas at about £170 :-\
-
I know a few people have mentioned it already but christ alive, those bars! Surely they could do with a little more backsweep :uglystupid2:
-
...i wouldnt give that to my nephew , and i hate my nephew :LolLolLolLol:
-
I know... I know.... :idiot2: :idiot2: :2funny:
They are indeed an embarassment.
The 25th Anniversary Team bikes were 'ok'? not as good as the guys who were running the project at Raleigh wanted, but they were not 'too' bad...
In the past 12 months Raleigh have been churning shome right cr@p out and its no suprise that the guys who loved BMX and were the force behind the 25th Ann. Team bikes are no longer working at Raleigh... whoever has taken over product development and is in charge of the BMX dept is a right twonk...
I 've emailed Raleigh several times and asked them WTF they are playing at but have yet to have a response.
-
I really hope raleigh will reply to your email dave. They are the bigGEST bunch of NOB EADS producing such long streak o sh ites! I mean could go on ranting every swear words to curse at their reproduction to date. Money grabbing chancers with no chances. twa tting K NOBS
-
I'v seen one of these in the flesh at the lbs
And I can honestly say
I would rather be seen getting off Joe brand
-

-
[They look like the cheap Skyway Utility wheels, designed for wheelchairs, wheelbarrows and the like ::).
id rather have a wheel barrow than that lump of iron. :LolLolLolLol:
-
:LolLolLolLol: other than the aero pro (which they never made anyway) I don't think they've ever made a good one.
-
.... so it's agreed - we're all big fans of Burners on this thread then :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

;D ;D fookin quality ;D ;D
-
looks fookin orribble, wheels are Skyway utilities ,i think , which i believe skyway can sell cheaper than the new tuffs , :uglystupid2:, which is why all them big mama death traps have em on , although originally they had new but proper tuffs on, not a Bummer fan at all, but its a shame that they have done such bad job , you think they might have learned something the first time round , some fooker wants sacking over a Raliegh for approving the final spec , obviously knows fook all about bmx and certainly hasn't had the common sence to look at an old catalog or advert, just in it to turn over the cash as most of the new range are just shite six month lifespan bikes , just like they did before, shame realy,
-
In a word
BARS :LolLolLolLol:
They say it all :wtf:
-
just jump out at you , didn't the Tuff Bummer come with v bars ? thing is you start looking at the other bits from there and it gets worse the more you look
-
£270 retail and around £50 landed from China.Will these old companies never learn.If you're going to do retro products,do it well or don't bother. :tickedoff:
-
i'd rather eat the peanuts out my shite, than come into contact with one of those things! put the seat up and push the bars forward abit and i might change my mind! :shocked:
-
...i wouldnt give that to my nephew , and i hate my nephew :LolLolLolLol:
:LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
-
Dont laugh lads , in 20 years it will be a collectors item :2funny:
.....they look like bars off a rickshaw , must have come from a spare parts bin in Beijing
-
you know.............these re-issues......it's OUR fault....I mean you know, Burnerworld and RAD and all this interest in old bikes has fuelled this!
warn you i did......... ;)
Yoda are you? ;D :daumenhoch:
-
omg :wtf: , twats .
-
I think Dave already responded.....and i think he prefers the term "bi" to "bummer" lol.
-
What do the bummers on bummer world think? I bet they love it :uglystupid2:
Yeah... cheers...
I forgot we're the second class citizens of the BMX community.
The BMX fans on BURNERworld are well aware of Raleigh's mistakes on these retro bikes, but if it gives you guys another reason to take the p1$$ so be it... :buck2:
:-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
-
At least the bottom bracket isnt up near the seat clamp like on the original.....
-
who ever said they were a classic anyway :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:

In my opinion - over the years, things evolve and grow and become more developed...
so - a range of bikes that were fooking sh1t back in the day, have evolved/grown into the worst looking retro pieces of arse Ive ever seen. I know it's a different company now, different peeps in charge etcet c- but there is NO EXCUSE for this level of utter barrel scraping cack.
Well done Raleigh on utterly killing any chance of ever being thought of fondly by anyone who isnt already a Burner nut.
