1982 ballburnished Ripper finished.
Spartacus:
This is my latest restoration. A 1982 PK Ripper ballburnished bmx
Found a while ago in a nice haul, Pk ripper is on the left on the pic build with 1 3/8 wheels.
Stripped the bike completely and collected some parts together that I had in stock.
Removed the scratches from the frame with electric sander and polished it afterwards.
Took some care of the brute stem
Added the decals on the frame and started building.
Did not took the Dx crank that I had in mind but a Sugino Sugino Super Maxy Cross with threads that were f**ked up as hell.
