Cool acoustic version

one for the gallery nice pic's

Wow quality, I thought I was the only one with a Raleigh Rebel! I still got my original bike from when I was a kid (22 years ago), I used it for my paper rounds so the back wheel is buckled and then some! It has a grifter brake level from my original mk2 grifter I had, this was before dad took the grifter to the tip   I also lent dad the original seat from the Rebel for his bike and he sold it!!! So it has a a blue GT seat. It has all the original cross bar pads in excellent condition. I just need a new back wheel, seat, brake leaver and tyres.... will try to post pics later

Please post pics of your rebel as is now

here's my restored rebel,







this is what it looked like 2 weeks before i restored it




rebel is my fave ever raleigh had a strika before it as a kid but the rebel really started me off into bikes,,

lol you wait 22 years for another rebel then loads turns up..lol just like buses,,,,the rebel is actually one of the rarest of raleighs bmx's as they were a mk1 burner with the gusset removed and were built up in late aug early 85 and were generally sold only via kays catalogue and similar mail order companies they were sold from the spring summer 1985 catalogues and were generally delivered around may 1985,retail on them was £99.99 as far as i can tell the rebel was made in small numbers a few 100 tops after all the mk1 burner was old hat and the mk2 in 85 was the one to have,the rebel is my fave bmx ever and i9 will never ever sell mine.best looking bmx too ( iam biased)

i bought the rebel in again from the shed today and re attacked it with oil as it is a little damp in my shed , thats done and i have also decided to use a seat post from one of the grifter frames i got from jay dog , it is a lot longer than the standard post so as and when i remove the old post i will fit it , you never know , she may get to go to the londons burning bash afterall
