thats all you're buying tbh,

i cant believe folks are still falling for this luke warm re-hashed shite year after year after year....

Se racing mugs? SE racing tea-towels? Se racing pyjamas?

fook Se racing, i'm openly ashamed for them,

the few times i've seen fully grown blokes riding this cack i actually feel sorry for them.

Post by: Broggie on November 16, 2010, 09:07 AM: I've had two of them...I no longer have any of them...nice looking until you get up close. ultimately the components look cheap, the bike creaks and flexes.
Ok for a ride down the road, but I wouldn't put one anywhere near a bit of unlevel ground...

Look good, but £500...absolutely not!!!

Ray.

And the SE Racing debate rumbles on...

I have owned a 2006 PK Ripper since new and it gets ridden every week on the track and I have no issues with it. It hasnt fallen to bits or broken (unlike me). I am pleased with the quality of the components and I dont find them cheap and bog standard... double walled rims and flip flop hubs etc ( I know they aren't on the 2011 Retro). However, £500 is a lot of money...especially when the 2011 PK Ripper XLP is only £479 and I think thats a great (and competitive) bike.

If you like it, buy it ... it is a bit expensive though.
