no

I had one for a bit, and the drop outs appeared to spread just tightening the nuts up.

however, Beard did race one, not sure if he had the original forks on though.

They are a copys of the old burners ..... of course they aint made for racing!  :LolLolLolLol:




(although to be fair, many bikes from the 80s had dropouts that were just as bad!)

They weren't built for racing... I don't doubt that they would be up to the job as they are very well made (despite what people may think!).

But I think they would be more suited to a smaller rider (I hope thats not offensive  :-X)

I did race one for the Winter 07 Northern Regionals and it performed fairly well, but as you all know I am not the fastest or hardest rider (novice at best!!! :D :D).

If your a Burner Fan and wanting something to cruise along the Seafront or ride to the Pub on... they are spot on and I love them...  :smitten:

But if your a 'serious' old schooler wanting to race.... I'd stick with the ELF.
