That is one of the nicest Burners I've seen. They always looked classy back in the day, and they still cut the mustard now. well done to a top job.

Nice build.

Cheers guys! Really did expect my 'Post' to go un-noticed because its Burner related.
So chuffed you all think it looks good... There is a possibility I may be at the Old School Bournemouth Event, just trying to talk the wife round... So anyone there may get to check it out in the 'flesh'...
Thanks again for all your nice feedback!! ;) ;) ;) ;)

Love it mate , see the original forks were TX tange , so an early frame and forks want a raleigh spanner? just to really give it that boxfresh look
Glad this burner got the props it deserved its a killer resto IMHO

very nice build beardy. somehow that looks like a real bmx... is the geometry different on ultra's?
Title: Re: Ultra Burner - Resto
Post by: beard1973 on July 23, 2005, 09:54 PM
Same geometry I am afraid. Only the tange framed models had 'proper' angles as you guys would say!
But thanks for your compliments... despite it being a Burner! ;) ;) ;)

Mr Rusty was so impressed by your Ultra Butner that he made his Hutch into a replica. It does look nice though, even if it does lack that Raleigh class....lol

Clean as a whistle. Ultras were always the best looking Burners. Not saying much though is it? :laugh:

Wow... thanks for pulling this thread back up! :daumenhoch:
My Ultra is still one my favourite Resto's to date... A few slight alterations since she was completed...
[It has been muted that she was very close to a prize at MK Rad Meeting 06.. 8)]
