100-150mm showing would be ok but not them ones that are as long as the width of my todger!!  ::) :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: I'm selling up!!
Post by: Sink on April 05, 2012, 02:39 PM
I'm upto the max line on mine which is 70mm of post showing. If your todger is a wide as that, I'd hate to be your misses :2funny:

70mm is no good to actually use as a seat to pedal, but if your hanging about looking cool  8), it's somewhere to park your arse, while watching the world go by :LolLolLolLol:
Title: Re: I'm selling up!!
Post by: bobbbbsy on April 05, 2012, 02:40 PM

Not if you want to ride a park they're not.......shyte alloy frame with a v brake........spend £300 on a WTP complete and bobs your uncle.

The ripper is fine for racing or cruising but no good at all for parks.
