After the 15th of Dec Fil-which strangely co-insides with my Uni term ending for xmas! And i'm not racing you now that youve been storming around the track in 'real' races.I cant believe that you didnt stop halfway thru for a bacon buttie and a fag! :daumenhoch:

So i'll see you on the 30th Dec for the Xmas classic meet then :)
I would hardly say i was "storming round the track, but i did have a fag at the end of each race!!!! :idiot2:

quality :daumenhoch:

cheers tony and thanks for helping me out this is a dream bike of mine and as much as i would love a old one like a had at least i can use this .Now what parts shall i change next :daumenhoch:
-
That Ripper looks much better with the proper decals on it. :daumenhoch:
-
I totally agree Miles.
Actually, that is about my favourite looking new skool ali bike out there. I thought the welds on my ali Intense were nice, but I think they're bettered on that Ripper - pure quality.
What I enjoy in new skool rides is innovation (love it or hate it, the Intense frame is pretty innovative) and the Ripper has it in spades.
Beautiful rear drop out design and the back triangle / top tube junction is pure poetry. :smitten:
-
I must admit i was getting used to the other decals but i wanted to go a little bit retro with a modern twist allso a tribute to my old ripper that got stolen .This is a great bike i cant wait to track test it :daumenhoch:
-
Thats one of the best looking bikes I have seen :2funny: Hey zed you gonna change that 4130 to 6061.T6 on your username?. ::)

that is a point mine is made of 7005.T6 floval tubing but my other bmx is 4130 and i use it more than the ripper . :daumenhoch:
-
nice one mate, On a seriouse note though after seeing your pics I am thinking of getting one myself it looks awesome.

Cheers jeff it just shows you the power of rad as since i got on this site ive traded and got hold of all the things ive ever wanted this bike included .ill do a track test on tue if the weather is ok then ill post my verdict :daumenhoch:
