For Sale: Raleigh burner resto project anyone?

Posted on
  • I have one of these, albeit in "slightly" rougher condition. Yellow mags need cleaning, tires need replacing, chain needs changing, grips need changing. Overall a proper project, but would look super cool hanging on the wall of your workshop once done! Collection from Stratford. Will get actual pics up later, looking for 80. It even has the original BMX seat which is worth a few pennies on it's own.

    Exactly the same as this one!

  • Is this free cycle ??? If so dibs. Didn't see price

  • Afraid not, sorry I'm looking for 80 quid. I cleaned it up today and here is what we have. Even took it for a quick ride around the block, the chain is rusty but not seized, rear tube doesn't hold air for long, brakes need setting up. The wheels really let it down and need cleaning. Lovely survivor condition. I forgot to put the top tube and stem pads back on but they are included. I'm half tempted to keep it because it's so cool, but just don't have the space.

  • It's too cool to sell don't do it

  • Nah it has to go, too many projects on the go. Surely someone is interested?

  • Dibs please! My little boy is just about big enough now for this.

    Can pick up next week,
    Matt

  • prov sold

  • Hi, Second dibs! If this is becomes available I can come over next week.
    Thanks

  • unlikely 3rd

  • Thanks daz, lovely bike!

    I tidied it up a bit, serviced the wheels, re greased everything.

    Also found some new skyway pads, old grips, an SR stem and some new 'cheng shin' tyres from america.

    Ready to roll..

    And a new izumi chain!

  • nice work!

  • Dont mean to hijack this thread, see little point in starting a new one. I have the same bike in similar condition if anyone wants it £70 PM me if interested will take photos tomorrow blar blar..

    Thank you
