Funny how old Skool top tubes seem so short. There's no way I'd fit an original Ripper without knackering my knees! Have you ridden it yet?

Thanks mate. It has turned out exactly as I pictured it in my mind when I started. It does look short - I haven't even sat on it yet, but then i'm not exactly the tallest either so i should hopefully be ok :daumenhoch:

Almost there now mate - it seems to have taken an age to gather the parts and build this up! These last few bits are proving a pain as I don't seem to be able to find the time to get it all together. I have a NOS Shimano freewheel now, and yesterday I found a left NITB Tech-3 lever in black so i bought that for it too. I've had a black and silver Izumi for ages so that's ready to go, and the rear caliper, pads and early 80's black DC cable are also ready. Got everything except the time really :-\

NOS left Tech-3 arrived yesterday, so that's the final piece of the puzzle sorted. New, still in the bag (came from Belgium in the end), and the inside of the body is date stamped 1184, which is good enough for me :daumenhoch:

I posted up a pair of Carlisle Aggressor tyres in the Tech section yesterday as i'm trying to find out more info on those; am wondering whether to switch them with the Panaracers?? They have an awesome tread pattern and are an ickle bit wider too, being 1 3/8 instead of 1 1/8''. Hmmm?? Anybody seen these before?

Yeah - that's what i'm thinking too :daumenhoch:
I'd just like to find out a little more about them first (dating more than anything else). I've posted them on here, OZBMX and on the Museum but zero replies on any so far :-\
