When I was eight my Granny bought me this machine, a 1983 Raleigh Super Burner and I literally lived on it until I was too lanky at 16 years of age. I still have the CrMo frame (with all the gold plastic coating peeled off bit by bit)...some day I'll restore it to its former glory. The solid cranks are still spinning freely in those big old bearings in the bottom bracket. It kept me happy for 8 years performing bunny hops over the local kids on the street and being chased out of sandpits with my pals BMX Bandit style....happy days indeed.
