Help!Something for the weekend sir?
The wife went ballistic when she saw this!
I think its a Raleigh Burner?(open to suggestions tho!)
Seven spoke wheels are "made in France" and are actually black underneath the crude spray paint job.Not sure what to do with it yet-either a resto?or complete custom job-flash paint etc.
Could use the wheels on my 81 Grifter?
my wife has suggetsed exactly what i can do with it alreqdy....!

the wheels are simplex, came on a mag burner, the frame is Mk2 burner or a styler, wheels are apparently very flexible. if the pedals are maxi cross there v.expensive and rare.

too bad the spray job goes over everythin, the sr stems are worth about £20, sme for the bars. if the wheel were excellent quality there worth about £35 of £40

Oh SR stems are £20

Got a few of those.
From bikes like Mustangs that used them too.

Of course none of my stuffs Nos.  

So I widnay get top of the shop prices.

average £20 i ok cond, i saw mirror polished sr stem for sale before, no bolts and it went for £35

Oh a night in watching telly...

Wet and drying my SR stems, to polish them up
Gonna get big bucks for them...
Hey I would even throw in stainless bolts...if I could get £35 for them

Ive fitted one to my custom Grifter

nice i have a GT stem of a Goose for another rebuild but that needs a good polish. yuo can do it if yam bored.  lol

Oh I sanded a BMX wheel rim the other day
To get the steaky anodising of the sides
My fingers are still sore now

hi i polish alloy with my polishing machine forthe stems and like you say fingers for the wheels.  Wheeeey

wheels are several hours(days....) cleaning them........

any thoughts?

oh Ive got one of them

Think there Simplex
A company that made gears...not very good gears

yeah, simplex, good work

Are they the SAME wheels?!!!!

That is amazing, what did you use to clean them?

i used a hell of a lot of boiling water for starters!then buckets of washing up liquid mixed with some bathroom cleaner.....then i went a bit loopy on the fumes and moved outside!






note that i am using a re-cycling bin.......
little bit of fine grade wire wool seemed to shift the really ingrained bits,then the turtle wax black chrome polish-contains a bit of the stuff found in t-cut,but works great! bitch on your skin tho!then polish to your hands drop off! no buffing drill here .........must be nuts!

wow shorty, what a result they look mint !

Oh I had a pair of white Raleigh Mags.  They were gloss painted yellow.
Did some scrapping of paint.
But sold the Burner they were on, as well as a couple of other BMXs and a skyway wheel, to a bloke from Glasgow.

Hey they go on about dirty Mags on the Burner forum.  Oh sorry..meant cleaning Mag wheels

cleaned my white 3 speed mags too

"turtle wax black chrome polish"
