hi,

i would like to tell you a story... (please, excuse my poor englis language!)
Almost two years ago, i've found this...


a magic PK Ripper Looptail from the 80s. But with lot of damage! Broken top tube and seat post!!



Luckely, a friend of mine knows all the secrets of steel. I left the bike to him and let him works...




Big work. He had to change the seat post tube...









when the work was done, he had to prepare the frame to be painted...




back from painting!






...it's my turn to work a little bit!! lol




i certainly stand hours in front of this bike!! ...it is so amazing!! i definitely love this bmx!! ...i'd like to thank very very much my friend Yannick L. who restored this frame perfectly!!
