hello
have got the above to choose from and cant decide so opinions por favor :daumenhoch:
many thanks
like the 1 piece i think :-\
-
It's always nice to see something different on a bike and a OPC is just that. :4_17_5:
Flights are common, they're on most builds today but then they're iconic so why not. They're a lovely crank.
Personally i ain't got a clue :LolLolLolLol:
-
maxy cross?
-
I have 3 of them, 1 opc, 1 flight and the 3rd will be opc..OPC's always look the dogs on a Ripper :daumenhoch:
-
i had a one piece on my yellow one and it looked mint.
its in the museum somewhere if you fancy a gander :daumenhoch:
-
Would have to be the flights for me. We all did one piece in the old days, because thats what we could afford, would have had flights then If money was there!
Love the look of flights too.
-
maxy cross?
X2
cheap as chips and look good on a ripper or quad....
-
i'd sooner see a opc on a ripper.
i tried both on my black ripper.
ended up with a opc.

the ripper was all about the best materials and tech. best you can put on it i say
-
there was only one reason why we all had 1 piece cranks on our bikes bitd, and it wasnt because they looked good....
-
One piece FTW... :4_17_5:
-
TMFA round here
3 piece :daumenhoch:
-
Aerospeeds :D
-

Bretty it's better to put a old school one piece on a Ripper
than 21st century twin pincher cranks :D
-
Aerospeeds :D

Oh here we go ::)
Cue the cowboy boot pic :crazy2:
The Aerospeeds quote is a inhouse joke with me and Diggs ( more him taking the p1ss outta me ;D )
besides they'd look totally wrong on a Ripper wouldn't they :crazy2:
If you wanted to go 3 piece but not flights and not break the bank ,it's gotta be Maxy cross like in the old Shiners advert :daumenhoch:
-
opc, for burners, puchs and other girder based bikes.
-
Although I think Rippers look good with a opc
I reckon build guidelines generally should be
Race = 3 piece
Freestyle - 1 piece
Sam we didn't all have 3 piece at the time . People who raced usually had 3 piece ???
Although I didn't hardly race back then , more your street , ramps and pipe kid, I had a 1983 GT with Suntour VX .(lthey were only around £40/50 as opposed to Flights at about £150/200 I think ,, I later changed to opc and powerdisc :)}
but I did work in my school holidays and some saturdays , only way to get a better bike , because my mum used to give me about £100 for christmas . So she got my frame and forks , it took all the previous year to get the rest of the bits for it . At the time I had a Falcon (my 2nd BMX ) , that came from the shop with a Takagi tourney 3 piece too :shocked:
-
I used to use 1 piece, still love em, only now am I building some bikes with 3 piece but bitd it was always 1 piece Tioga :smitten:
