Garage sale Ripper.....

(1/3) > >>

wrennas:


I have been working in the US for a couple of weeks and I found a Ripper frame with forks (landing gear copies) in a garage sale for $200 (about £98). Sadly it’s not a looptail, I think its 93 PKR XL, (after reading a post on BMXMUSEUM.com as it’s got a 21” top tube and there are brake cable guides on both the top tube and down tube)

It’s currently in transit back to the UK, because I posted it myself, but I wonder if anybody could help me in the meantime….

1)   Was this a good price?
2)   If it is a 93 PKR-XL will all my spare old school stuff fit on it? SR Stem, MX1000’s ,TAKAGI TOURNEY CRANK, ODYSSEY LAYBACK seat post…or is it all different?

Sorry if these are dumb questions but I never really looked at Rippers until I saw this one for sale and all I was looking for initially was cracks, dents, and dings etc…

I’m still on my 82 Supergoose that I got for Xmas long long ago….

RATTY:
Be better if you can get some pics up, then we can have a proper look :daumenhoch: but tbh, the price sounds very good

wrennas:
It finally turned up yesterday!!  :) I was getting nervous....

Anyway, is it a 93 PKR-XL, was it worth £98, and will my old school spares fit it...(what do people think about the new 07 looptail limited addition (restore this or buy a new looptail?)

harris:
nice frame    :)  and yes well worth the money ,i like the long rippers   :daumenhoch:

Mattdub:
Not sure if you can use MX1000's on the brake bridge , looks semi set up for V brakes .

If it's 1" 1/8 ( no thread ) headset then your SR stem won't work .

Nice frame though and deffo worth building as NS thrasher  ;)
