Thanks dude. Hopefully around the end of January but I’m at the mercy of the painter, and the bits that are being rechromed. Could be as long as the end of February.
I'm really looking forward to seeing your resto as I nearly bid on this myself. 😄 If it had been within 50 miles of where I live I reckon I would've gone for it. 😃
I combined collecting it with a trip to the nearby Descend Bike Park. I couldn’t have justified just collecting it. I wasn’t even sure if it was a phase 1 because the serial number was obscured by paint. I took a punt on it because the rat trap pedals indicated that it might be. I would’ve been wounded if it was a phase 2. It’s going to be a labour of love this one.
@@chasetherainbow Another problem for me is I'd need to buy any parts like the handlebars, seat, grips etc from ebay. It would've been a very expensive build. 😭 I'm glad you bought it as I can watch its progress. 😁
@@gingerphil thanks dude 😊 I picked up a set of bars for £20. Prices are dropping like a stone at the minute, it’s looking like a good time buy spares now.
@@gingerphil They’re definitely settling down. I’m seeing some advertised at covid money but they aren’t selling. EBay is the best indicator and there’s plenty on there not getting any bids at all.
I'm going to keep an eye on this build as I have the same one sat in the loft. Think mine has a stuck post and is in worse condition than yours. Keep up the good work.
I’m hoping to keep it below £400. I’ve got quite a lot of bits for it in the shed, plus doner parts from other bikes. I think worse case scenario could be £600 (including buying it). The unknown will be the grips.
Thanks for the offer mate 👍 I’ve actually got some of those in the shed. I really need the red/black Viscounts, or maybe Red/White dottys, temporarily, that they fitted to the phase 2. I’ve just got to be patient (not my best personality trait 😂)
Recently bought an almost new chrome burner mk1. Best purchase I’ll ever make
You can’t put a price on nostalgia 😊
New subscriber here ...can't wait to see this restored!!!

My friend makes his own viscount grips if you need a pair
Thanks Chris 😊 I’m guessing that’s Liam Kenny? He’s my next option if I can’t get my hands on an original set.
@@chasetherainbow 😎 👍👍
@Chase The Rainbow liam yes 👍

I hope Burners return to pre covid prices. 😁

I haven’t had a chance to evaluate it yet but I’ve a feeling I might be wrestling with that seat post.
@@chasetherainbow mine only has about an inch exposed so I'm going to struggle.
@@whitewellybmxrestorations ouch 😓
What’s the estimated and maximum total cost of the project you have in mind?
