Gonna either all blue parts and blue 1 3/8 proclass rims on it

or

white alloyed hubbed tuffs and a mixture of blue and white.  ;)

May go with the proclass though as its got LG lites on it.

Interesting!
Pink's a funny colour - need to stay minimalist with it.
Chrome rims, black tyres. Some blue alloy bits, some more chrome.
White tuffs are gonna make it look too much like a birthday cake! Black ones, on the other hand, would be cool!

Looking forward to seeing what you do with it, don't think I've ever seen a baby pink Ripper!

When you said in the title that people are gonna hate you for doing this. I eagerly opened the thread in the hopes that you had taken a chainsaw to a frame and forks.

But no, you've gone and spoilt it now.  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

Come on Dave, look beyond the paint. They are thin fork legs. Are you just bitter cos you used to have a pink bike? Or maybe bitter cos you NEVER had one?  ;D

Looks OK, very late 80's that's all.  Don't think anyone would ever die over owning a pink bike  :LolLolLolLol:.

Would like to see it when its complete, but it looks nice to me...one thing I noticed was that you missed out the i and the n between the p and k on the frame.

Its a bit like a pair of 1970's womens knickers (pink and blue)  :2funny:

No, I like it...its different.

I finished it and sold it! Pics in the museum. I got a bit slated for it but in the flesh it was a beautiful bike and i liked it but i have a Ripper already and it had to go.

The paint has been stripped off  now and its probably white or baby blue! All the parts were sold on too! Shame. :'(
