Title: Mk1 ProBurner (dare I say it) Completed. - Pix Heavy
Post by: mg-max on February 15, 2013, 05:30 PM

OK, I know you've seen it before, but now I'll write the spec and the work done on the bike.

Frame and Forks Bought in September, so I've done this in 5 months.
As I've said before, I want to ride it, so, the wheels (rims) were VVGC not NOS.

I'll keep an eye out of Raleigh branded hubs and seat, but I'm effectively happy with this as any Raleigh Branded Parts won't be as nice/mint, aside form this, I believe this is now at about 99% Spec.

Thanks to all that have helped; Glynn for the detailed Info, OBB, Nick, Rich, Neil, Woody and all the others!

Anyway Here goes.

Frames and Forks 1982 November.
NOS Kashimax Saddle and Guts (Not Raleigh Branded) - via BW
NOS OGK Blue Mach Grips - via BW
NOS Redline V Bars - via BW
Unused BlueTech 2 Levers with '22' clamps.
NOS 1983 Blue Dia Compe Cables and Outers
Blue MX900 set, stamped 1983, re-annodized (via BW) and re-riveted by me.
Used DC Brake Blocks
VVGC Blue Araya 7x - via RB
NOS Blue Suzue High Flange Hubs (Not Raleigh Branded) - tip via RB (NB: Not a Flip Flop Hub, which were later model of this hub)
Unused Blue Suntour Seat Clamp
Nagaoka Seat Post (22.2) - Stripped and Re-Annodized (to match Woodys survivor post).
40T Blue (Used VVGC) full-annodised Sugino Sprocket
Sugino Spider
Sugino 1 piece Crank
Blue SR MP-131 Pedals (not pictured in some photos)
Suntour Power Stem (VVGC) - via RB
Tange MX2 Headset (with Frame and Forks)
Blue Rider Comp3 Tyres (I do have the Branded Front Yellow Label unfitted)
Suntour 16T cog
Silver Izumi Chain NOS (firm now owns the Factor Spec Chain Make)
Sugino Chain Ring Bolts
DC NOX 80s Cable Ties

I thought about it, but:

1. I want to ride it (I do) - so old rubber will be ruined. :)
2. I want a Fat Thin set :)
