Post by: generallee on December 20, 2006, 12:52 AM: That is indeed a pk ripper - it used to be mine! Its in the museum with different bits on ity - I sold it on ebay with the very same one piece crank, chainring, pedals etc - the frame and forks I bought from a guy who had had it powdercoated - its a lovely frame, and the forks are geniune real non stamped landing gears - a thing of beauty! Enjoy!!!

Post by: generallee on December 20, 2006, 12:53 AM: By the way - its not a pro XL - its an 87 regular length pk ripper with 1" headset and regular brake mounting.

Post by: mclarenj on December 20, 2006, 09:37 AM: Thanks for the input guys. I am currently restoring it at the moment.

Just sourced some SE baby Blue pads from Germany and added the Z rims a while back. Once my house resumes some sort of order I'll get some more pics on here of the finished article.

In terms of selling,I may well do in the new year.

All the best.

Jon
