Title: You can laugh if you want to!
Post by: phantom photon on December 04, 2006, 06:36 PM

Finished my Mk1 Burner resto  :)
You can all laugh and point if you want to  - yes it does weigh as much as the rest of my entire old school bmx collection put together and yes the welds do look as if they were done by Stevie Wonder in the dark after a bottle of whiskey but the Burner is an iconic piece of bmx history whether you like it or not  :daumenhoch:

That looks fantastic, and I agree, it's definitely a UK BMX icon.
