Speaking of restoring old bikes.......

I've just got hold of a Raleigh Burner (complete with the correct yellow 'mag' wheels but sadly missing the soft bits whatever they're called)

Any idea, roughly, how much a full restoration would be on a basic bike like this (at LBS who restored a beatuful Grifter last year)

The guys over on retrobike.co.uk are the experts on this kind of thing - both restoration cost, and subsequent final value.
