Title: Original finish Gold PK Ripper built up..
Post by: kungfunky on July 05, 2015, 05:00 PM
You don't see many of these about and certainly don't see many built up. I think the last one only one from here was Radmans old bike. Most SE collectors who have these frames generally hang the frame set on the wall or just keep them in storage, they're too nice to hide away so I built this one up.  8). Still not sure on a couple of parts but for now I'm loving it.

Threw a few nice parts on it like Cook Bros crank and BB, Reedy pedals, French made RZ stem, SE Troxel seat/post and comfy Toadstool grips.

This frames an 83 Rob.

Perry wanted a "special colour" to race at the worlds in Japan late 79 and the OM thought it was fitting to give him a Gold one. They were released mainly as a team colour in 80 then to the masses after.

You have some great bikes but, for me, this one surpasses any you have built to date. I love the colours, the parts, the stance of it, and it fits perfectly in my era of BMX.

Simply Awesome mate  :daumenhoch:

PS:- It needs a plate up front though  :D

Great looking pk that probably the nicest looker you've turned out in my opinion I really like some of the whacky parts on it , we forget now but that's what everybody did chuck random parts on back then really like it  very slick

This isn't Radmans by the way, I think only the powerwings are the same as what he had on his from memory. This puppy came from the states a few years back  :daumenhoch:
