Garage sale Ripper.....

<< < (2/3) > >>

Steve P:
Nice frame ... I've got the earlier version which accepts all old school parts  :coolsmiley:

Your old school parts will fit your Ripper though you'll have to get 1" threaded forks to use your SR stem. Use a straight post too ... the TT is a nice length without the need for a layback



You could remove those v-brake lugs to make way for an old school caliper ... the bridge will take an MX1000. It should be an easy job in the right hands but I'd be inclined to leave it as it is and build it with the right parts with an old school flavour  :daumenhoch:

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  ;)

I think these are set up for both V brakes and pitbull (at the bottom) and possibly a normal side pull, nice to have the choices :daumenhoch:

Bob_Acid:
It's quite a rare bird being as it has both brake variants. I'd put it at 94-97 myself though :)

I used the MX 1000 on my alloy quad and that fitted great , had a battle with the headtube as it takes 1" 1/8 threadless forks, but managed to shim it up and fit some 1" alloy forks in the end .. Bike feels a mile long after riding the Gen 1 and GT , but love it, and one bike i will never part with .. 8)
