Loop tail Ripper serial numbers...
glenboy:
Welcome mate the truth is there is no way of dating the rippers by the serial number the consensus of opinion is the 7 numbers are late on in production sort of 83 /84 but I have seen others with that range saying there bike is 81 the only thing you can say with certainty is it was made between 79 and 84 sorry it's not the exact Answer you were after it's probably the most asked question re se bikes

It's probably the most frequently asked question in all of BMX :)
It's a tough one no doubt about it and as a rule of thumb 79 = pre serial and then from late 79 onwards pk2.
Pk3 = 80 etc etc. the last of the serials would be pk7 so 84.
A great way is to also use the original decals ( if the frames still have them) to determine it's age, the 79 decals were different to the 80 and 80 different to 81. Slight changes to the seat mast decal and shadowing on the down tube decal.

Thank you for that link. Unfortunately I'm not on Facebook. That's another story. But that profile looks promising: same name with BMX splashed around....I don't see a way to contact him without signing up for Facebook??
