Ripper XL Serial Numbers (dating scans now added it a 92! (maybe))
Bigplinky:
I think the confusion here is when SE started to offer the XL version the basic design of the frame in standard length was definately out by 87 but that would have the standard Pro top tube length of 19.5" the question is did they offer the XL version at the same time or did this come later
Hope you find that thread Bob it should become a sticky
Thanks for the input all :daumenhoch:

Mark yours is the same model as Andys and is the variant which is hardest to nail down because of all the conflicting rumours.
I've since learned from Scott that they did indeed make XL PK's in Asia.
Bigplinky:
OK I've been doing abit of digging through BMX Plus and come up with the following
The launch of the Pitbull brake August 1988
Frame test from September 89. This shows no hole behind the bottom bracket for a Pitbull and doesn't list a XL varient of the frame.
Frame round up from June 91. This lists no XL varient of the frame and also the frame shown has no cable guides on the front triangle down tube which would make me guess it also has no Pitbull mount
Had a look through my 92 mags (but unfortunatally have a big gap in them in the middle to the end of the year) and noticed the following April 92 no shops list a PK Ripper XL frame for sale. The next mag I have is December 92 and in this the XL is now listed for sale so I can only guess at the following: the Pitbull mount and XL varient appeared at the same time in Mid 92.
Anybody with mid 92 BMX Plus get looking through them for a launch article
Cheers
Andy
Bob get that sticky made :daumenhoch:
