Picked up a LTD edition 2015 loopy ripper from the RADshop last week but couldn't built it till today. She's a beauty but will get a few upgrades over time.(http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a498/pickle1970/20140906_142701_zpsvy7ruubf.jpg) (http://s1280.photobucket.com/user/pickle1970/media/20140906_142701_zpsvy7ruubf.jpg.html)(http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/a498/pickle1970/20140906_144329_zpswyno4ruw.jpg) (http://s1280.photobucket.com/user/pickle1970/media/20140906_144329_zpswyno4ruw.jpg.html)

That Ripper looks like it would be a really smooth and fast bike Rob.
-
Yeah till I sling my leg over her dan ;D
-
Very nice
-
Lovely fella
-
Loving it Rob. :smitten:
Send the Mushies to the usual address. :LolLolLolLol:
-
That's nice. Was it ££££?
-
that looks sweet compared to some of the versions over the last 10 years.
-
Like that mate.
-
I'll have your Retrogoose frame then mate - the forks are still sat waiting for it in Simon's lockup :LolLolLolLol:
Nice, really nice. I'm suprised you haven't got a shot of the Retrogoose alongside it >:D
-
both nice :daumenhoch:
-
Loving it Rob. :smitten:
Send the Mushies to the usual address. :LolLolLolLol:
:LolLolLolLol: :daumenhoch: i will be changing them though as I don't want to ride them
-
Very nice Roberto :daumenhoch:
-
Nice pair :daumenhoch:
-
Just build an old school one rob
-
But I liked this one Dave, and it cost about the same as an old frame, that's too small and may crack if a fat fook like me rides it.
Not everyone's cuppa but it'd be dull if we were all the same I guess :daumenhoch:
-
very nice rob 8)
-
Very nice rob, few changes and she will be good to go
-
Nice that, looks quite long aswell. :)
-
That stamped seat is sweet mate!
The mushies look good too but if it's a rider then it's whatever floats your boat.. :4_17_5:
-
Yeah she's nice and long Andy. I've just never liked the feel of mushies so these will be taken off before its ridden.

Cheers Phil :)

The blue pads are dog 5hit, other than that I like them now :daumenhoch:
-
:LolLolLolLol: yeah not sure on those either Ash
-
Camo all the way Rob :daumenhoch:
-
Yep camo pads best. Yep the mushrooms always felt weird and interfered with feedback thru the bike. They never last long anyways, too soft.
Seats nice but I truly love that seatclamp. Imported mine from US for my 30th ripper build with Quadangle landing gear with canti posts. Every time I go to dig it out to finish it the bl**dy missus give me inane jobs. Sigh. Wimmen eh?

The problem with the modern camo pad set is that they're meant for cruisers, so the bar pad is far too narrow :-\
-
Mebbe try getting a Quadangle set too and add the bar pad from that. See them in eBay occasionally. Hope that helps?

yeah, i was thinking of getting another set of the camo pads and using the frame pad? might need to cut it down a little and re-sow it on the edges. will measure it up later tonight.
-
Cool. I have a 2009 Gold/ brown PK ripper and the geometry on it is sweet. No way could I fit an old Skool one today! My original busted '84 Ripper in mums loft. Can't bring myself to sell it for any price! What do you think of the new 2015 Quadangle freestyler?

Cheers guys, not sure on the 2015 quad as I don't think it works as a 24

How do you use that saddle rob ? Change them nasty pedals and it's almost there
-
The more you ride a kashimax your butt gets used to it heh heh.
I'm a big fan of shimano DX design pedals despite the horrendous shin injuries! These pedals do not lose grip when wet if you're wearing vans etc, self right onto your foot, hard wearing and rarely break and they look Rad too.
Most of the new Skool pedals supplied on pre built bikes are copy designs too.
What's not to like of them?
