and then you'll want to purchase some decals from bmxman or retrochap... both can be found on the burner forum.

Basically get yourself over there... ;)

The burner has round tubing unlike the one I had when I was ten which had oval and I have such fond memories of. I will get in touch with the raleigh burner forum as advised, and continue watching and hopefully learning from this site :)

Post by: othomas2 on July 27, 2006, 09:43 PM: Nothin wrong with Burners... ::)

They just aren't appreciated here because they are heavey and have bad welds and bad geometry... Not race-able basically.

But for the majority of burner fans it is about nostalgia... and the majority of us don't race.

There is no reason why you can't have plenty of burners... Skyways... Haros etc... :LolLolLolLol:

There's a few high spec burners too... which were raced.... Actually just get one of each of them !! ;)
