Depends Dave if you're doing it as an hobby , then why not
, but tbh if it was to make a fair bit dosh out of it , then you'd be better off with something else probably

It's got all the bits ( only need to change seat grips and pedals )
but its the paint , decals and time too :-\

I think all old BMX's should be brought back to life ;)

I'd ask them to give you a bit more, maybe £50 to take it off their hands :daumenhoch:

Post by: lodge on May 14, 2008, 02:56 PM: If my memory serves me right Mk1 Burner frames were as follows

MK 1 Super and Super Tough Burner frames were Gold
Ultra Burners Were either Black or a silvery blue colour
Extra burners red and white two tone
The bottom of the range burners were either blue or red.

The bike in the pic looks like a lower end one due to the front sprocket which would have had a guard thingy riveted to it.

Post by: pickle on May 14, 2008, 03:01 PM: i make you correct other than all burners other than the Ultra and aero pro had the chainwheel with the rivetted guard on them, they were also covered in the same see through plasticy stuff as the super burner
