project: "BLAME SMIGGY" (Raleigh Ultra Burner)

it's 1 of the bikes from the worlds biggest fully restored burner collection...













Here they are individually, starting with my holy grail, this is my favourite bike of them all, slightly customised , changed all the black bits for blue or white, but used the original parts



I always dreamed of what the colour scheme would look reversed on the team bike when i was a kid, if you reversed the red for the blue and vice versa- some years later, i tried it. Now have the correct font on all the decals



This aero pro is based on the team banana racing bike,I have now corrected the font on the decals on this one also-i love this bike.



My latest team custom



Heres my NOS Frame and forks chrome Aero Pro Rebuilt with NOS parts



This is my immaculate Pro Race. Original chrome on frame and forks



This next custom aero pro was found at the tip, it was bought by radash for £2 and it looked like this



So i got it from him, got it rechromed and i turned it into this. All parts are correct but are blue instead of black.



Ok, this is my second fave bike, the Pro burner, this is original spec, been rechromed - stunning, won bike of the year on radbmx 2005



Heres the same spec Pro burner but in red dress



And the same in black



My new painted black Pro Burner





Next up my mark one cro-mo burner, its been rechromed and it immaculate - another one of my faves



Heres another custom cromo mark one



And another-the frame was NOS, and i peeled the decals off as i already had the other one chromed - wish i hadn't now, but it was a long time ago.



Heres one more, always liked the orange and chrome look. I now have a NOS orange kashi aero on it, just havent re taken the pic yet



And this one which i painted in custom team colours, dont think anyone has painted one before



Next up Original spec mark 2 Cro-mo, all rechromed and immaculate



Heres another mark 2 Cromo custom



And another- i did ride this for a while-nice bike. Original chrome and mint.



One more cro-mo mark 2 - not many of you will have seen this one. Its the 1985-86 championship model, came out the same time as the pro race aero pro's. I will put some more detailed pics up of this another time. This has been rechromed and is all original spec, except i had the rims chromed, added black spokes and chrome suzue hubs instead of alloy finish rims, chrome spokes and black suzue hubs. Big thanks to Steve for printing the pads for me



Right onto the more basic models now, starting with the red mark one original spec



Blue tuff burner with NOS yellow skyways original spec



Extra burner with skyways



This night burner mark one is a survivor original spec



So is this supertuff mark one, but have added some NOS parts original spec



Black and gold ultra burner mark one original spec



Silver and blue ultra original spec



Onto the mark 2's basic models, i've upgraded most of the mark 2's with better parts

Blue mag burner upgraded with skyways, Dia compe mx 1000's and tech 3's and other upgrades



Black burner, with aero zytecs, dia compe mx 1000's and tech 3's and other upgrades



White mag burner with aero zytecs, dia compe mx 1000's and other upgrades



Chrome burner with NOS raleigh mags, dia compe mx 1000's and tech 3's and other upgrades



Team replica with twin top bars, skyways , dia compe brakes and other upgrades



Andy ruffell team special all original spec (except pedals)-thanks to johnnyboy for the NOS aeroyal seat and Mark (Impresiv) for the paint job



Super burner, all original bar the kashimax aero seat and pedals. Massive thanks to Mark at impresiv finishing for the gold re-coating



Supertuff all original except for Dia-compe MX 1000 brake calipers, again recoated by Mark, and thanks to Paul (Burnermeister) for the NOS alloy hub skyways, and Parrishpaws (Mark) for the mint NOS Aeroyal. Also has NOS pads, thanks to Hillburner for those.



I wanted a super tuff to ride, so this is my supertuff rider, same as the other one, but with original calipers, still looks a show bike and again, thanks to Mark for doing the gold coating



This was my last build, finished last week,the mark 2 ultra, all original except the Dia compe mx 1000 calipers and the upgraded wheel hubs. Have suntour sealed hubs on them, so they are the same wheels as the aero pro.Thanks to Mark (Impresiv) for the paint job frame,forks and bars




Hope yopu enjoyed and thanks again to everyone who has helped me finish the collection

Cheers Julian :smt023
