1979 P.K Ripper......Yet another one..

(1/13) > >>

kungfunky:
Finally making some progress in building my pre serial Rippers up and heres the latest installment. I wanted one that looked a little different but still kept that unique 70's vibe and look about it and I think it works well with the pale Tan and Brown. Theres still a couple of minor things I need to change like switch the seat guts, get some 12g spokes for the wheels (these are temporary) but apart from that its all finished. 8)
As for the spec I decided on this line up, some of it NOS, some refurb and some just left as it is.

well done bud.

kungfunky:
yup I know, took the seat straight out the packet and put it on. Just need to switch the guts round as these seats have little space to move on the rails.

Mattdub:
Very nice Ash ! , lookin' good  ;) . +1 on the seat back on the post , guess the want for new guts may help cure this ? .

Noice ...... :)
