project: "BLAME SMIGGY" (Raleigh Ultra Burner)

well i saw smiggy sellin this, and it took me waaaaaaaaayyyy back to my teens and a bike that i had so many laughs as a kid on, propper memory lane trip, so the missus (diamond that she is) bought it me as part of my crimbo box, so i'm gonna set about minting it as much as i can, without going too mad, so here's how she looks as i got her....



after a bit of searching on google, i've managed to find a place liecenced to do the original sticker kits providing you register on the owners club (£3), then you can purchase them quoting a membership number....



hoping that the frame will look something like this, if not a little better ....

nice one mate I can remember when I had mine as a kid I think the wheels on mine were Acorn magnums but I might be wrong

Nice one matey, I can remember one of the older lads in the village I used live in had one of those. I had a Tomahawk someone handed down to me and a mate had a Grifter at one point.

Didn't take u long to start with the modding mate,
U nearly didn't get it, i spent the morning riding it round alford n loved it.
Hope u have as much fun with it that i did.
all the best with it and keep me posted

well, the old burner aint lookin like it used to, i saw a bubble and picked at it, the end result turned into this....













good old powder coating hid a multitude of sh*t....
