Title: Non Burner Content Thread
Post by: johnjo74 on January 18, 2013, 11:07 PM: OK I lied ............

Although Raleigh didn't produce a Mini Tuff in the iconic yellow / blue scheme , I built this for my lad trying to use parts that Raleigh would have , could have or did use on their range of Mini Burners.

The 16" Skyways are new , as is the chain , paint , decals and padset ..... the rest is as far as I can recall '80's survivor , nos or reconditioned parts.

MINI TUFF BURNER

Frame/Forks/Bars : Raleigh Mini Burner
Stem : SR MS422
Crank : Sugino 127mm
Chain : KMC
Pedals : Sugino PD MX1
Grips : Oakley Style - Tuff Burner Spec
Brake Set : Weinmann 1020's , Levers and Cables
Seat : Mini Aeroyal
Seat Post Clamp : Suntour Style
Headset : Tange AW27
Wheels : 16" Skyway Tuff II 's
Tyres : 16" 1.75 Cheng Shin Skinwalls

Chrome work : R+S Electroplating - Failsworth
Powder coating : Chicago Coating - Mossley

Big thanks to members :

Jon (Buttsbikeshop) - Anno work
Del - Custom decals
Steve (Firebird/Esem) - Pad set
Phil Sawzall - Re-riveting the levers

Title: Re: Non Burner Content Thread
Post by: johnjo74 on January 19, 2013, 07:08 PM: Thanks for the nice comments guys , didn't expect many with it being a Burner 8)

I am a little apprehensive about letting him ride it and him slinging it down on the deck ...... might have to re-fit his stabilisers and invest in a extra large roll of bubble wrap :D

And I apologise for lulling you into a false sense of security Pete , hope you are ok now ;D

Cheers Dan ..... I've a retro 24" Quadangle that I ride with the lad , but do have my actual childhood Burner that I've restored . As much as I'd like to , as it's a
MK1 Burner, it's impossible to ride if you are taller than 4ft or a day over ten ;D
