Post by: gmac on January 07, 2006, 08:47 PM: I've had some black chroming done on my LC, and it looks great. Doesn't really show up well in pics, but there's an extra depth to it, when you see it close up. Had the expansion chambers done, and the grab rail.

Post by: ORB on January 07, 2006, 11:45 PM: But i did not mention Mk1's!

Here is a MK2

I know raleigh did not know what they were about when they did the MK2's as they were all odd, but the night burners seemed to follow the same context?

just never seen pink.

I am sure i must be wrong as burners are far from my strong point.

Post by: stuey on January 07, 2006, 11:50 PM: Johhny abbot reproduced mine from the originals I peeled from the frame and they where pink :( ( much to the amusment of my friends when I show them my bmx with pink bits...)

I think it would be nice I was wrong about it to be honest cos I think it looks a bit odd to be fair.... :D
