Title: PK ripper with threaded stamped LG
Post by: Glen on February 08, 2009, 08:58 PM: I want to sell my PK ripper with chrome stamped threaded landing gear forks with headset and silver SE padset. No cracks, rewelds or damage, a few dings as can be expected from a bike of this age and being alloy. Not sure of year I think it could be 88? What would a reasonable price be? I was thinking £200 posted, what do you guys think?

Think that's more an early 90's one with the pitbull hole and downtube cableguides, damn nice frame !

Yours appear to be a standard one, the XL from the same era had one extra inch (20.5 TT)

Post by: diesel on February 09, 2009, 10:42 AM: I'd still like to buy the forks Glen - If anyone else wants to buy just the frame?

Cheers

Totally different, top tube-seat tube- seat stay junction to the early 80's PK.
And because I'm tanked on cheap beer from Asda, here's my 90's model
