meXEco Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Just picked up this survivor Raleigh Burner, 1983 mk1 phase 2, in mostly original condition. Needs the rims & hubs refurbing or probably replacing as they look too far gone ( got some new replacement tyres coming ) and at the very least some new grease in the bearings. Very pleased with it as they fetch bloody good money nowadays. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meXEco Posted May 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Just dropped of to a good mate who runs a bike shop in Penryn. He's gonna strip it down so i can take the rims/hubs/crank/chain etc and clean up the rust he said the wheels will come up alright. Re-grease all the bearings and fit new inner brake cables. Got some new suede type brake blocks coming as there's an odd one on there, also an original pair of gold levers as they're an odd pair. New yellow fat/thin tyres are here-the original Vredesteins are like chalk lol. Just got to find a fabric yellow stem pad and it's complete again. Can't wait to ride it.
