Thanks for the masages - im so glad its got a good response! In answer to 'how many pk's is that now' ... ive actually sold most of me SE stuff - mt 88 ripper, 85 ripper, looptail, quadangle, 92 ripper and 2 97 rippers -
I did this as I had noooo space left, and decided to instaed make the few I had left look exactly how I wanted them!
Im left with my 4 favourite rippers. They are all 90's frame - Ive always had a thing for the late 90's XL rippers as I feel they had perfected the design in that era, and they also made them in such amazing colours then too! Plus I love the longer toptube - they feel ace to ride. I love all SE bikes, but for me the 97-99 rippers are a work of art.
Here's what ive got
The Red 99 Ripper Xl
Yellow 97 ripper xl [being built]
Anodised Green 97 ripper XL [being rebuilt]
Brown 99 ripper XL [had it sprayed this colour and am building it now] with original baby blue forks

Cheers!
