Title: Ruffell Replicas
Post by: Cherrypicker on June 25, 2018, 12:16 PM
During a previous rad life, I built two Ruffell replicas. I just wondered if they were still alive and if the person I sold them to was still here?? I’d love to know if they were still around.

Wish I could remember, was nearly 10yrs ago. Both sold to the same redder, collected them from me, so have no postal record.

Remember them two, both really nice. I've  built one but it's been eight years and I still need one whie comp st.  Your two were  a Kellogs spec and a k.o.s spec southsea?

Yes, I spent two years on those. Waiting on parts. Loved them, fook knows why I let them go, it was when I was getting out of the game. I put them in BOTM in 2009 and they were my last builds.

Here is mine. Was going to have a tinker the weekend, sort chain and fit white comp st etcetera, but the rain stopped play. Still not 100 percent spec, but I will get there one day.

Lovely BEAT that  8)  to be fair he changed it round quite a bit, from chrome bars to orange seat and so on.   :daumenhoch:

I think your seat guts are upside down though  ;)

Got one from Alans ages ago, it was just a bit grimy, but cleaned up mint, still searching for the second one.....

Many thanks, thought the seat guts looked odd My other Kashimax seats guts have bolts, what should the guts look like fitted?

I believe they should be turned 180 degrees so the allen key is under the side of the seat rather than on display  :daumenhoch:
