Title: What Raleigh Burner did I own........?
Post by: Bfellows on April 09, 2014, 09:11 PM

Help me out here...... I always thought I had an Andy Ruffle team Burner when I was a yoof, but having googled umpteen pics nothing seems to be as I remember it....... Definitely had white twin top tube freestyle bars and white mags fitted...... All the pics I keep finding the bars are blue?  I could have sworn it was on aero zytecs as well.

Any ideas?

Raleigh Stylers also came with twin top bars and some had mag wheels

No, definitely a team burner - I bought it second hand from a friend in 86 - 87 when I'd screwed my knee up skateboarding.

Could have been, but my very hazy memory seems to think it was fairly unmolested - even had OG pads still fitted......

Didn't they do a range of Team bikes, cheap to top end?

I remember some of them Team burners with the heavy as fook steel rims on  :D

Looks familiar - I'm wondering if the bars were just done as a shop special?  Anyone got one to sell?
