A nice day to get the bikes out for few pics ,, albeit I dont know how to use my daughters camera :crazy2:
Doesnt do Dan's Baby blue justice really
Two takes on the Ripper ,
,Classic Baby blue livery PK5 (1982 ? ) & NOS Landing gear forks, race setup :smitten:
and the ball burnished with 1st gen Landing gears ,more , well Race/Street set up PK6 (1983 ? ) 8)

PK5 Blue kitted out in NOS gold ,mostly SunTour spec , stem ,clamp, chainring , freewheel ,XCII's, with SR tubular crank,SR hubs on UKAI speedlines with NOS Panaracer fat/thin rubber :)
Built the Ball burnished one has bits I think that really suits it,,,all chunky ..just like the framest :daumenhoch:
Brute stem, CW Pro bars, OG SM racing Mushrooms, DX crank and pedals (NOS end caps NOT repro ;) )Mitsuboshi Grippa tyres Hatta KONGO headset , and TUFF II's

Maybe it's a good job you didn't ..... most of our bikes look like mountain bikes this morning , cack high in Bury dirt after an off road excursion :crazy2: . It was a great laugh though . I think Jono will be cleaning the 10 or so bikes he lent out for over a week !!!

Lovely pair Christian, CW bars a nice touch (big boys would be better IMO).
One thing is for certain you always know you're in for a real treat when opening a new Hunterdubber build thread.
First bloody class :4_17_5:
:-*
-
Mint them Christian,especially like the ball burnished one,think I need to build a ripper now :daumenhoch:
-
Both gorgeous Christian! But that blue one tops it for me :smitten:
-
we need a little chat about them CW bars cwis.... :coolsmiley:
everythin else perfecto, our burnished rippers are almost twins!

and very nice!
two classic color schemes.
-
Very Classy as always :4_17_5:
-
Bloody lovely comments , thanks for the Rad seal of approval gentlemen :smitten:
-
Both good lookin builds
The blue one would suit my taste now.
And
The burnished would have been my taste as a kid, with the CW's and Tuff's it could have been one of my street hacks BITD ( but would have had to have had the Camo pads ;) )
:daumenhoch:
-
Superb lil Chris' ;) :4_17_5:
-
What a lovely pair!!! :coolsmiley: :daumenhoch:
Love DX Cranks but they do look heavy on some frames. Work a treat on a Ripper though.
Nice detail with the 5 spoke Spider and the Tuffs as well :)
-
Ahhhh man, I like the blue one a lot.. loving the knarler knobbies and just the colour combo.... It really deserves some 3pc though. :daumenhoch:
-
Absolutely mint mate :smitten:
But then again, I'd expect nothing but perfection from you :coolsmiley:
-

As you say Paul , beefy bits for a beefy bike
Yes the DX is the complete Shimano setup
Shimano DX 44t chainring
Shimano chainring bolts
Shimano DX spider
Shimano DX adjustable length arms
Full Shimano BB with semi sealed dust covers
Shimano DX 1/2 pedals with NOS caps ( not Rakas)
Ta Ben :daumenhoch: I do like a Ripper in either drivetrain guise but I may actually have a tinker with the blue one ,sometime what 3pc cranks do youreckon would suit best if you we're changing owt ? :)
Thanks again for the comments and BMX love ,,means a lot . From many of the best bike builders on Rad :daumenhoch:

Top drawer Christian :4_17_5:
1pc on the burnished would look just like how I remember :smitten:
