1984 Raleigh Mag Burner Custom. Pic Heavy.
« on: January 05, 2014, 04:03 PM »
 Right, I started this by accident earlier last year. A guy over on RB.com owed me some money so I took this in lieu of payment, Nov 2012.

Anyway, a pal of mine Crazy Dave who's a powder coater is building a Dyno Compe frame and forks I gave him, and when he was in the man cave last June collecting some parts suggested that instead of payment, he'd powder cost this for me.  ;)

So when it returned, it stood for a few months, but after looking round the man cave, realised I had parts to sling on it.  :coolsmiley:

Now, I know Burners aren't everyone's cup of tea, but RAD has been slated previously for showing snobbery towards them. But in my new role as a Mod, I'm hoping to change that, like it or not, they were part of UK BMX history, so if you don't like it, move on. :LolLolLolLol:

So, here's a few progress pics:























And the finished pics:

























Parts & Thanks:

1984 Raleigh Mk2 Burner frame & forks (full Cro-Mo)
1984 Raleigh Hi-rise bars - Ryan Duffy
Skyway Tuff IIs - Joff
CompIII pattern tyres, fat/thin combo - eBay
Tange grips - Ryan Duffy
Chrome seat post - Rooski
Repop Aeroyal Seat - eBay
Unbranded seat guts - eBay
Tange MX2 headset - moonster_99
Rechromed Tange BB - taken from my green DP
Rechromed Sugino 1 piece crank - taken from my green DP
Suntour Arrow seat clamp - Willo73
SR MS422 stem - ???
Copy MX1000 calipers - eBay, with retrospect decals
Copy Tech 3 levers - eBay
Unbranded cables
NOS Sugino Maxy Cross pedals - Burnerworld.co.uk member
40t Sugino chan ring - ???
Chrome Sugino spider - ???
Unbranded chainring bolts
Custom valve caps - Scotty B
Padset - Steve Firebird
Custom decals - Johnny Abbott (bmxman)
KMC chain
Raleigh chain tensioners - RB.com member
Rubber tensioner covers - Tony Lee
Skyway wheel reflectors - Tony Lee

If there's anything I'm going to change, it will be to get the chainring and guard powder coated, I rattle canned them, but I doubt they will withstand a good ride out.

Hope it's a nice to look at - for some members.  ::)  :LolLolLolLol:

I'm lovin' those custom decals Dan :smitten:
I don't care what people say...I loved my burner bitd its all we could afford....just by putting a haro plate on mine made me feel like bob haro 8)

Great work Dan the Mod ..... now you have risen to such lofty climbs are you the one that is supposed to bring balance to the force? :LolLolLolLol:

I hope this involves poles, scantily clad ladies and a tent at MK14 :LolLolLolLol:

Nice job  :daumenhoch: looks great and nothing wrong with a burner. Most of us 80's kids started out in BMX on one, or something very similar.

That my man is lovely :daumenhoch:

I never had a Burner although I did ride my cousin's from Smuggy c**thorpe to Brigg once only to find they had bulldozed the track!
Not my best idea ever. :idiot2:

I generally prefer mk1 burners tbh Dan, but that is REALLY nice. Looks mint, and love just a splash of colour. The orange/green/white combo looks super clean & crisp. The customised decals look
really cool too! Will it get an outing on one of the rides this year?  :)

I doubt it mate, they're shite on rides with a 40t.  :daumenhoch:

That's a lovely build Dan and I really like it - especially the personalised decals which was a nice touch  :daumenhoch:

Your right about burners being a big part of bmx history (like it or not) and most of my mates had them bitd. I could quite fancy doing a super tuff one in my builds for this year.

Go for it mate, a Super Tuff was my first rider build, and I loved doing it.

These Mag's in white came from nowhere in late '84. I remember going to school after the Christmas holidays, and the bike shed was full of the things. :LolLolLolLol:

Been thinking about doing one for a while Dan and you're right - they come with good memories from bitd. A super tuff has now been added to my build list.  :daumenhoch:

This is mine built 3 years ago, I still have it although I've changed some bits now, and put the seat guts on the right way.

I remember those. You've done a great job with it Dan  :4_17_5:

I did have a Mk1 for a while, you couldn't ride into a close or street without seeing a Burner - a true UK icon of the time.

I don't understand why mate, they're still BMX's.

I think most people on here just appreciate seeing a nice build or resto.

We've had some builds on here in the last few months that BITD were regarded as POS's, and people have loved them.  :coolsmiley:
