Old School BMX
Don't know if anybody else on here is into these, but I've just dug out my old Mag Burner from the loft and spent a few quid on it to get it back to tip top condition....its a real flyer!
26 years old! My mates Mongoose

How Cool
I had the Knight Burner, similar to your mag burner but with the spoke wheels (multi spokes) |

My wife thinks that I'm nuts and that it's just a fad, but when I got back on my old BMX, it felt like pure freedom, just like it did back in '84

Loved it, and always regretted selling it. I might even still have the Raleigh brochure somewhere with all the 'MAG' bikes in it. I believe that they re-introduced them recently too. Tempting! |

I had a Mk2 Chrome Burner (Oval Frame) Like this
I seem to recall it was £129 and I had it for about 6 years and I sold it for £120 to buy a racing bike It was mint as I restored it with genuine bits before I sold it........
