Well I went a bit mental last week when I was off and I seem to have bought a few rippers.... :LolLolLolLol:
This one has had a weld but is very nice, the guy said he thought they where race inc bars but I was hoping you lot would tell me..... serial PK 61891 which means nothing to me??? :smitten:
Ok so heres the pics as it came but it will be treated to genuine old school parts I promise.... :LolLolLolLol: Not to shiny just a little auto sol as like the old look.... Had a weld but by a very reputable welder and had it as few years ago....
Anyway this is as it turned up....

Believe me you can NEVER have enough Rippers ::) ;D I'm at 17 and counting 8)
The bars do look like RI's but you'd be better off putting Power Wing's on this with it being a PK6 serial. Usual Ripper chew on the drops, I'm sure Animal or Phil could sort that for you :daumenhoch:
-
17....... :smitten: wow, im at 5 now ha ha........ They are just lush.... Yeah I want some power wings, the RI maybe bars have been painted in SE brown and do look sweet.....
-
Wish I kept me floval was so light

That's not including the Floval Flyers, OM Flyers, Quadangles, Bashers and all the pre 80's SE's :idiot2: ;D
It's hard to see what colour the brown is from the pic but Bad Boy Brown is pretty much the same as UPS brown.
Something like this :daumenhoch:

question..if i may? what do you Ripper fans think of the straight stay Ripper?
-
My other 2 are straight stay ones and 3 loopies. My opinion is straight stay race frame ones ride better and ones my ride to work but loopies just look lush :smitten:
-
do you mean the 85 ripper? i like them but i did have to put a lot of spacers on the cranks to stop them from hitting the chain stays on my one. don't know if you could fit a opc on them either.
-
Ive got an 84 loopy ( dark decals) I want to keep it alloy, any ideas how to clean up the scratches before a poilsh ?

Looks nice does that :daumenhoch:
How much of the seat post is in the frame ?. It looks fairly high for a rider, just make sure there's plenty in the frame otherwise it's destined for a frame snap :daumenhoch:
