Yo MSG , not quite fallen out lmao

That Burner is totally awesome .. . Had a couple of Burners , last one was blue with yellow mags ... begged for that and got it for Birthday and Christmas from everyone .

Yes Ed was kids stuff realy , just messing about .

[vxlgsi]

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!

[vxlgsi]

MSG if you have not seen it this is about as good as it gets!

All BMXes were like that in the 80s.

[daddy cav]

All BMXes were like that in the 80s.

Not realy , as a young kid mine weren't , unless you mean the bigger kids trying to be cool .

[Ed]

I beg to differ:

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.

[daddy cav]

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 .

[vxlgsi]

how could you not spot that on the first look, would be a suicide machine lol

this is the only vid i have of me riding, and i dusted down the bmx pumped up the tyres after 8 years of not riding so not too bad for an oldie.

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!

I beg to differ:

I had one of those, got nicked in 1988. I was devastated, I loved that bike

[nige-p]

this is my latest little purchase and another addition to my fleet its great to ride and cost me very little to build and rides great getting used to the fixed freewheel is hard work, but will be great for keeping fit with minimal maintenance

My newly re-framed road bike (previously was a Giant Defy 4)

[Kev_G]

Heres my latest bike - Specialized hard rock pro with upgraded Formula Hydro brakes





need a longer stem on it and its then sorted

[Benn]

Kev what size stem dia? As i need a shorter one for mine... wanna swap?

[daddy cav]

I bought a Formula oro K18 set up for mine Kev

I prefer a reasonable stem too .

[Melv]

Mine. It's a Raleigh something



Bought 2nd hand for £60. So far all I have done is change the mud guards.

Ideal for loosing the belly and hitting some trails.
