I had one of these:
but it was second hand when I got it - even had the previous owner's name etched in to a brass plate on the top tube :shock:
Soooo heavy :!:
I once rode it downhill to a friend's house and walked home 'cos I didn't want to ride it up the hill.
To be honest I was glad to see the back of it.
After that I had a Raleigh racing bike of some kind. Dunno what model 'cos it was resprayed and decal-less.
Friends had Burners and Mustangs so it must've been that era.

My parents bought me a second hand Burner, had gold coloured coating over the chrome which I picked off.....CW bars and everything
Only other Raleigh I've owned was a pink/purple fade Mustang years ago, found it in a skip and cobbled it into a BMX type singlespeed thing, lethal!
Always remember going into Halfords and looking through the catalogue at the Techniums, bought a Scott instead though and never looked back!
