odd one for sure, does it look like it did have a gusset?

there is a big snot where it should be,so i'm guessing it should have 1,apart from this I think it is a mk1 super burner,wish it was a minter but cant complain for £25

Post by: BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN on April 05, 2011, 11:45 PM: just to let other know

it is a late 87 gutless mk1 super tuff burner

at the end of days at Raleigh they had a load of parts left over - they made the styler range and some lesser know stylers with some top parts on them

after that they had stock piles of tubing and parts that they throw together and some frames were welded up and not bothered to have the two hole gusset plate welded up - these are know as gutless mk 1's - they come as red burners ~ blue burners ~ renagades (white manly ) and now this super tuff - whichi would beleve beiing chrome ad the right tubes was superchromed and not bothered to weld up the gusset in place, then mostly full spec and sold to a shop or so - it would have cost a bit more than a standard gutless mk 1 blue burner, hence bring in a bit more money - some of the gutless mk1's had some sweet dia comp parts like tech 3's and suntour stems, all bit that some of you guys would love to find on a old burner

hope this helps - cheers B ;)
