Hi guys,

I have a near mint condition Heavy Tools BMX which just needs new tyres, tubes, brakes and the rims refurbished. But I was wondering what you guys think its worth over all. I have search and searched the net and can't find anyone with one of these. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place but Heavy tools only seem to do Mountain/trail bikes now. Here are a few photo's of my bike, sorry it was dark when I took the pics but once she's looking her best I'll post proper daylight ones.

how about an original raleigh burner super tuff?

What's it worth? from what i've researched its a 98 GT performer, if anyone knows different please let me know, this was a bootfair find and pretty rusty, but cleaned up well, I've added 80's acorn mags and removed the giro for a linear cable.

I also have the origanal GT wheels and GT boots with the nooblies on the side still intact. Also have all 4 original stunt pegs, I just prefer the look without.

I have one as well - they are nice bmx's just not as popular as poeple think - they made quite a few of them and it was at a time of the change over to what is more new school - mongoose and diamondback

they are a good solid bike but a little heavy - with the right choice parts and some clean chrome they make a good looking bmx

as for price - £40 fro a bad one - £60-£80 for a ok to good one £120 for a clean one with original parts and all working

it's not always easy to price bmx's - some have a standard price - some float about and some times you can get different prices for the same thing

and this is just my thoughts - i have seen these for sale onebay and other sites

it can all depend on conditions and if the item is wanted - these change all the time

cheers B

Well I'm happy with that!! I paid £20 for it. And have rode it every day since, it's paid for itself in travel alone

Cheers

Got a dyno slammer im after finding a rough figure for its all original n in real good condition. . . Help pls

Hi there,

Got my one owner used and abused chrome burner gathering dust/rust in my garage. I guess it's prob not worth much to the scrap man but I was told a while back the Mags are quite obscure as they were made by "Acorn" I think!?!

Is this anything anyone might be interested in????

How about a DP Mini Firebird Freestyler? It's the 20" version, stunning little thing in great condition.



Any opinions on value before I stick it on eBay?

There seem to be more Burners turning up with the word of OLD BMX
yours is a MK 1 - maybe super or super tuff - looks like all the gold has been taken off in most place's - Acorn mags are ok but with us lot being bigger and heavier since we were kids there not to strong for us now - they need a clean and bleach and maybe a polish
Most other bits will be worn out and need replacing

so for price ?
£40 + but putting it on ebay may get more but it just depends on the day

cheers B

A very nice looking mini DP there

if your going to chuck it on ebay - then you have some sort of idea of what it is worth or what it could go past

on a item like this, it is only ebay that will tell what the price will be

sorry i can't say what i think it's worth as i may be very wrong

cheers B

Thanks B, it's a tricky one isn't it? They only made a few and this one is close to perfect, but anytime I'ved asked for offers in the past they've not really gone much above a good normal DP. As you say, probably only eBay will show it's value. Cheers

People like the DP's and back in the day it was a lesser frame that was cheaper but well liked

offers will always be lest than you want, as every one wants a good bargain

you also have to remember that it is a mini and peeps will only build it up and not let there young uns ride it

ebay may surprise you but some times it lets you down

put a price that you want and see if there is any takers out there first maybe - then start off at 99p and see how high it goes - it a game that can work and yet some times be so cruel

sorry it's a had one to say - you can always pm me and let me know what you have in mind - that way it might not scare peeps off

cheers B

Thanks Mr Bendycat

It is Deffo a Chrome Burner though as I remember getting it when Brand New from Trents in Reading! I even remember getting them to swap the Black with gold writing toptube and handlebar pads for the limited edition Black and white chequered ones!! Shame I dont have them anymore eh!

The gold you're probably seeing is more likely to be rust or dirt I'm afraid as it way past it's best with a siezed seatpost, wonkey saddle and shot headset nowerdays!!

I may well stick it on eBay as it's just clogging up my garage now. It's deffo had a good innings though with me!!

Thanx again for the reply!

Any idea how much this is worth:-

Just a rough idea would be cool.

Thanks!

Also, are they any good, I have heard they are heavy but does this affect it as a rider, I won't be going on ramps.
