World Citizen Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Dear Father Christmas can I have the bicycle I always wanted 😍 https://www.raleigh.co.uk/stbur19-super-tuff-burner?gclid=Cj0KCQjwuNbsBRC-ARIsAAzITufuH2-wjiVmHGMce1y2_66-07TMfMGzsUFPoeVg79Iz5bTBJxltfbsaArOyEALw_wcB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Nice but it's a bandwagon price. Originals are a lot cheaper. Would be a fun restoration project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjwright944 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Lovely! I had a Night Burner, and fitted red Acorn Freestyle wheels to it, looked the business. You'd be surprised at the price of originals! Good ones not far off the price of this one I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Comerford Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I haven’t got it yet, only paid earlier today and it’s coming by courier. Blue, lovely lugs, lots of chrome and all Campagnolo. It may go on a wall ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds lovely, would you hate me if I told you I once threw away a perfectly good brand new Pegoretti frame even when I knew what it was 😪 Edited October 3, 2019 by World Citizen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnonut Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Burners were never any good as the head tube was not a standard size so you could never upgrade the forks, head bearing or head stock. Give me a Haro Freestyler with Skyway Tuff IIs any day of the week 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the others had the down tube crimped to the bottom bracket. This joint had a tendency to fail at the most inconvenient moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s beauutiful You are going to love this it will be a joy to own and ride - an absolute thing of beauty! Over the years I have owned numerous Italian cars / motorcycles all except the current road bike & motorcycle have had major issues. All the weaknesses are forgotten about when everything is working, the sun is shining and the road is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh hang on, I probably will. Craftsman built steel in this style will always look better than anything in carbon/aluminium and knowing it was pretty much the best at the time will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Comerford Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Not quite, the rear brake is internally routed in the top tube. Must have been quite advance in 1981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicestershire Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Record 10 was around 2000 but was this original or a later upgrade? Love the the craftsmanship on the metal frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Rock Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 ‘83/‘84. I bought the frame from John Pavey Cycles in 1995 and built it up and then in 2013 rebuilt it before I did the Tour de France climbs in the Vanoise. I’ve had the Rolls saddle since 1995. No Shi*mano on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris T Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Modern wheels with clicher tyres? clip in pedals? 10 speed cassettes? All modern tosh! I SO miss my Columbus steel De Rosa on which I won 3 Western division junior champs ahhh... wouldn't ride it though, heavy rubbish compared to modern stuff 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
