Boxfresh Raleigh

A while ago I posted about the 25th anniversary re-release of the Raleigh Super Tuff Burner, the bike I was obsessed with as a kid. Well, I just learned that British street-wear brand Boxfresh have teamed up with Raleigh to release a limited edition Boxfresh BMX Burner.

Is it the best BMX in the world? Probably not. But, it looks pretty sweet for £250 squids. They only have 2 left, and they'll only ship to the UK, so if you want one you better a) jump on it, and b) live in Britain. Check out more details here.

The bike I always wanted...


The Raleigh Super Tuff Burner. This bike was officially "rapid" and "gift" when I was a kid. The closest I ever got to having one was riding Paul Clarke's Ultra Burner around the "circle walk" in Portrane on my summer holidays. Raleigh released a 25th anniversary replica edition last year, and I'm half-tempted to get one. Yeah, it's not going to be the best BMX in the world, but just look at the feckin' thing! It's so styling...
