Ive had a few burners over the years. best one was a night burner on black raleigh mags. I took what was left of the grey plastic coating off, polished the chrome 
I was up at the scrap yard a while ago. I seen a blue Mark1 frame sitting near the gate. I got it for £5.
I built it up with a couple of modern alloys I got from the scrap yard.
the headsets worn. which is annoying as the cups are slightly bigger than a normal 1" headset.
I found a Raleigh Calypso ladies mtb in a feild. so put it in Police lost property. It sits there for 3 months. no one claimed it. so I got it back last week. I had to bike it home, 10 miles. I was at the bus station, bagging it up to get on the bus. the bus came, didnt even stop, just went awat again. Lots of swear words at that.
It rode ok. even tho the chain and cables were rusted up. Its got the Burner sized headset. so will strip it out for parts
I am waiting for this BMX from lost property.
I jumped in the river to get it. Bad phone pic.
Its got Mongoose written on the gyro. But the forks are bent. so will strip it for bits, if I get it back. might use the wheels on the burner.
I also got this bmx from the scrap yard. Its an alloy frame. I had ideas of stripping and polishing up a few alloy bikes. sick of rusty bikes. But Ive got a few too many bikes. so probably sell it.
