What year is my "Ripper" ?

<< < (3/3)

No way guys, that Ripper with the pitbull brake was WAY LATE, mid nineties.  Like I said I had one from Shiners as sponsorship and wrote teh test in RIDE (which I still have).  It was at teh end of my racing career and that was mid nineties for sure.

'86? Not a chance, that was World champs at Slough time and teh pitbull wasn't even out then.

gossa:
OK might have a definitive answer for you.  In the test I did in RIDE mag, I had Exposure forks fitted on the bike and they had just come onto the market.  just confirmed with Matt Farrow at Hot Wheels that they introduced the forks in 1995.

Now, it is possible that SE introduced this bike before it was tested in RIDE but that's doubtful and if it was then it would have maybe been by 1 or 2 seasons.  i reckon 1995 is the best guess.  hope this helps, I can scan and email you the article if you need it?

I reckon it's a 91-95, but it doesn't matter what age it is anymore, it's still old school legal (1" threaded and caliper/pitbull)  :daumenhoch:
