Ok, so Burners aren't regarded as BMX's by some RAD members, but they I loved them BITD, although never had one, and love them now. :smitten:
Don't bash my thread, if you don't like Burners, then move on. :yahoo_silent:
I could have put this in the budget build off thread as it was a cheapo build, but that's all it was ever intended to be, just a budget rider.
The frame and forks were in the shed and had been for about 4 years, I took them in lieu of payment from a BW member. The wheels were off my Haro FST - now sold. The seat is off my Supergoose - now blue etc, etc.

Not much Stu, £200 on a good day. I picked up a frame and forks the other week for £35. With more in parts. :daumenhoch:

I still need to set the brakes up properly on this with some decent cables.
I forgot to mention the plate was bought off Nathan (macmnia) about 2 years ago, I stripped it down, lost the Velcro ::) took the original decal off, and replaced it with one made by NeilVW, bought some Velcro off eBay and painted the mesh black myself. The Aero 1 is off Jai. 8)

my least fave colour scheme but nice burner !! :daumenhoch:
-
Everyone should have a Burner, i like it fella!!!!! :4_17_5:
-
We all grew up on burners and I love this one :daumenhoch:
Memories of the Andy Ruffell Ad's :daumenhoch:
-
It's horrible to ride though, very short, had a quick razz on it this afternoon. :(

its in line with the other raleigh team paintjobs of the time which were never given much time on design or any flair. i prefer chrome on burners mostly ! :daumenhoch:
-
Gotta say this is my favourite colour scheme on a burner, I still want a Ruffell rep with twin top tube bars as that was the burner I wanted as a kid, but I had a super burner instead

+1 x 2 :D
I like the Team colours - reminds me of the top expensive spec in the catalogue - and longing for one as a kid. I also had a Super Burner but never picked off all the gold - forgot what they used to call that - superchrome or some other BS :)

Well I appreciate your opinion, but as a non Burner fan (but I do own one, see below), I think it is a well thought out colour scheme. :daumenhoch:

It's go be a bike not to care about if anything else, built to fall off etc. :daumenhoch:

Fine example there Dan! Nice work bud!
Im with you on the "horrible to ride" bit, I always found they were too short...out of balance almost if you know what I mean? I bought a Mk1 burner ages ago and that felt like riding a 6 year olds bike so i moved it on sharpish! lol.
But saying all that....I do like the classic look!
-
yeah i remember burners feeling heavy , odd , weird and difficult to do much on ! thats from last year :LolLolLolLol:
-
What's not to like :) lovely rider :daumenhoch:
Good work Dan , nice resto, genuine 80's BMX 8)
Another worthy ressurection 8) :daumenhoch:

the only comfy burner frame to ride is the aero pro, like in vestans post, much lngr top tube and fantastic geometry,

Gonna get a chrome one this year J, that's why I went for a Team finish on this. :daumenhoch:

Nice work Dan, I love the colour scheme (bit bias - see my avatar :LolLolLolLol:) love the chrome ones too.
If you ever want rid of the plate... ;)

Nath, I bought that plate from you with the intention of putting it on my Supergoose, but I just thought it wouldn't look right. I stripped it to paint, then lost interest. I found the bits a few weeks ago except the Velcro, then I also remembered that Neil can make the decals, and here we are.
The original Raleigh Aero plates had blue mesh, but I went for black to compliment the grips and seat etc. :daumenhoch:

These were one of the bikes I wanted as a kid. :daumenhoch:
As Andy said, everyone should have a Burner!! ;)

Burners.... Rubbish.

I've got this and a Mk2 Super Tuff, got 2 to do, a Mk2 Mag/Tuff and a Custom Mk2 which I'm collecting parts for now.
Then a chrome AP for my Birthday in March. :daumenhoch:

Defo Ash, there were a few at MK this year, a very accepted BMX IMO. :daumenhoch:

Looks good,
TEAM COLOURS ROCK!
-
Nice resto Dan , turned out great :daumenhoch:
I need to get cracking on my 84 team aero pro , love the team colours :smitten:
The chrome AP's look great built up aswell , looking forward to seeing what you do with it 8)
-
Lovely rider mate. Nice to see a bit of burner love going on.
Got to admit the team colours had to grow on me actually, I wasn't a big fan to start with.
No shame in running a Xxl stem & partial layback if that helps the ride comfort now your a big mister.
I put these two items on my team ap and it made all the differance .

-
Nice resto. Always liked :daumenhoch: the team colours.
-
Do like a MK 2 Burner :daumenhoch:
-
Nice build, can't beat team colours IMO 8)
-
Cheers lads, Burner #1 of 4 I have planned for this year. :daumenhoch:
-
Nice one Dan , thats a great job youve done on that. I cant believe some people dont like the Team Burner colours , I think it was one of the best schemes ever . If i had to sell all my bikes but one it'd be my Team Aero Pro id keep and flog all the other overpriced nonsense ;)
-
Nice Dan.the colour scheme is the only way to go for a Burner,Needs AR decals :daumenhoch:
-
AR, now you've got me thinking? :-\
-
Only just seen this , i've got to say i' love the Team colours it brings so many fond memories of when i was a kid , got to be the best looking Burner imo , top job Dan i love it and the plate too :smitten:
i honestly think i need to get one of these :smitten:

I've got 17 :-[
I've not finished my team colurs build yet though.
You did a great job with that, and for a real good price too. I think you underestimate when you say it's only worth £200.
