My 84 Mk2 Raleigh Burner "Black"

[trxrincon]

Hey, I just thought I'd put up a pic of my new project, it an 84 I think mk2 Burner "black" I picked up on Ebay locally. Its in pretty good survivor condition although it has been painted at some point and I cant see the frame numbers. I'm lead to believe its an 84 model due to the dates on the brake levers being 7.83 and it also uses a mk1 seat.

Plans for it are

amberwall tyres
a good polish
rear relector
pads in survivor cond
Possible powdercoat??
strip the black paint of the cranks

then get out and ride if the sun stays out longer that 5 minutes!

Heres a pic



Please let me know what you think. Rob

Lovely mate, I personally wouldn't powdercoat that, it looks like a great survivor! unless it definitely has been painted, the photo doesn't show that, from what I can see it looks great

Thanks but shes definately been painted badly! Shes stripped and ready to go to paint on Tue, then Ill get some new Decals ordered for her. I have found a really nice survivor padset that will be going on too.





Nasty rust on front hub

Good stuff, can't wait to see the finished result

Well, whilst the F&F are away at paint I got the solvol and (Nitromors) out and removed the paint off the crankarms and polished these few bits

It took me 6 hours in total to remove the black paint and 4 coats of primer off the crank arms, whoever painted and rebuild this bike before me needs a blood good talking to because everything was either too slack or nor greased up enough!

Oh its definately an 84, I stripped the paint off the rear of the seat tube.
