    that burner is awsome, but its let down by the seat post being 4 miles high and the stem nearly all the way out.. sorry but i just had to mention it.

    Thought you were gonna grind that rail in the vid!

    Re: show us your bike

    Actually, saying that when I look again, the seat post is done up beyond the knurled section on this......so yes too high.



    The same goes for the stem actually. I wouldn't want to be riding too hard on that lol.

    Yes , that's a lot higher , you can damage the frame with the post that high when weight goes onto it .

    I had the yellow and blue one ^^ up there .

    Thanks for the comments chaps. The bike is actually a SuperTuff that had the Gold superchrome removed. The stem is up to max max indication mark, and the seat post is silly long, and not extended up to the max mark yet!
    I built it as an extercise in nostalgia (had one as a kid) and has only been ridden around the block once, and then tucked away in my loft!
    I'm only 5'10" and it's a nightmare to ride with the seat any lower.....kind of obvious really, as it is a kids bike.
    The wheels are "new" tuffs with the sealed bearings. My other one (mk1 STB with superchrome removed) has all original bits....That old stuff cost stupid money these days....steelhub tuffs £120, MX1000 front and rear set is easily £150!
