Title: Unplanned PK Ripper build
Post by: Del on August 23, 2006, 06:43 PM

I hadnt planned to build the PK Ripper just yet but I was stuck at home as its pi$$ing it down so put a pair of black tuffs on the PK to see what it would look like, well you know how it is.. once you pop you cant stop! so I went through my parts box and put this together in about 45mins. I'm actually really liking it like it is. I just need to change one or two bits and add a chain. Comments always welcome :)
That's all, you can read another post now.

I'm liking. Only thing i'd change is the chainwheel for a back one, but otherwise looks cool.
