Title: PK Ripper Colours
Post by: Peter J on November 30, 2010, 03:20 PM
What were the standard colours that PK's came in (1980's)...... I can only ever remember white, black and "Au Naturale"

Not sure when first out, but by `84, in our village, we had a white/white, a burnished/black, a Candy red, a candy blue and a black/black all standard colours from Speedwheels in Leicester.

The white one was the first I ever saw, that was about `82.

They did a red, but it wasn't candy red, more of a metallic red...
Candy is a name given to the colour that's the same colour as quality street toffee wrapper colour...  :)
