My time in BMX was very much 81-84 so my knowledge of post 70s BMX is very limited, how i have found a bike that could make my collection a little more interesting.
I believe it is a 1979 but could be a 1980 . Saying that, i haven't been able to trace this bike in any catalouges etc.
My question is am i picking a up a Raleigh Burner thinking its a VDC lol
Is it worth time and effort , or is it like having a Grifter amongst a collection of Haros ?
Although im very much an 80s guy i know one day i will put together a motomag of some kind because of its history and its roots.
Any feedback or thoughts are welcomed.

Yours would probably be from 80 or 81 (because of the different stem) Does it say MX 40 or 41 somewhere?

is it a find, or have i just found a mini burner lool

It's not like having a Grifter, a Grifter is much better than that :teef:
Seriously, it's worth it if you think it is, but a 16" wheel bike with fooked forks isn't going to be something you can ride very easily
