Title: Asking everyone i know for an old bmx has come to fruition!!!!
Post by: NICKYSPLENDID on December 01, 2005, 05:54 PM: I've just acquired a white mag burner...it needs a good clean up..but its totally undamaged (as far as i can tell) and is totally original.
what do you reckon i should do?

i quite fancy restoring it to it's former glory...but it'll need powder coating and new decals etc.

i'll be doing this along side my main project - db silver streak/viper.

Post by: NICKYSPLENDID on December 01, 2005, 06:31 PM: yeah! i was pretty chuffed to get a complete bike.
i wasn't a burner fan bitd...but it'd look pretty cool with skyways.
i'm gonna restore it, use it over xmas with my daughter - whilst teaching her how to ride with out stabilizers...
just out of curiosity - can you get skyway stabilizers? ;)
