Title: MK1 pro burner done
Post by: coz on January 09, 2008, 10:07 AM

well here it is at last

ive spent months getting parts to rebuild this mk1 pro burner

I bought it in a bit of a rough state  - from youngy :2funny: - no parts were really salvageable except frame and forks. They were taken to be stripped, polished and finally re-chromed

i was lucky enough to get most parts NOS from rudewheels including

NOS stem
NOS kashimax
NOS aero rims and hubs
NOS sugino crank and chainwheel
NOS seatpost
NOS dia compe hinged clamp

had wheels built up using stainless spokes, new decals added, cheng shin tyres form ginnys

Thanks to UNC for NOS tech 2 levers

here it is before

Ive got one of them on the go for a mate of mine. Ive got all the parts sat on a shelf in the shed. The frame got some top notch repairs done to it, its just with the mate getting hand polished before chroming. He has had it for ages now and there isnt much going on. I might send him some picks of your bike. Its so nice it might kick him into working on his again!
