It's a smaller version of the full size Ripper but still takes a 20" wheel ... basically there is no head tube gussett, the top tube and seat tube are shorter and the bottom bracket is lower :daumenhoch:

OH I AM A TW4T
thanks steve :daumenhoch:
better than petes GT dogs plopp for sure :daumenhoch:

so now i want to send you my black pk so you can polish it like that silver/ blue one, buddy, mate, pal, friend, favourite person :angel:
Is it the original paint or powder ... might be worth stripping it first to make sure it's not been media blasted :daumenhoch:
-
testament to that frame though is that the kid was racing it up to 3 days before i got it. he was sooooooo happy to have a new bike instead of that old shite :LolLolLolLol:
same with the jmc i got, the kid was using it forschool and wanted one of those sit up and beg dutch bikes instead :LolLolLolLol:
dutch :idiot2:
-
Very nice indeed Mr P :4_17_5:
;)

had some nice bits.
mcs mini stem, front loader. very rare indeed. sunshine hubs, the very early ones on thin as fook ukais, tange mx 5 headset, race inc bars and a super seat :LolLolLolLol: looked a treat :( thought i wouldn't have a go though seeins as the stem as a 80lbs rider limmit. :-[ even if it was 8okgs it was too little :-[ :-[ the kid did admit to taking his pedals and seat and wheels off and putting that old shite back on ;D thank fook he did!

I remember those photos John and I'm surpised how that 7/8" post even fitted the seat tube :shocked: thankfully, there was no damage though 8)
Someone on here recently said I could probably polish a turd but I reckon I've been there and done that already ;D

I now have warm sticky stuff in my underwear.... :-[
I know I don't know a great deal about all the bikes I see on here but I know when I like a bike and, for me, the Red/Gold ROCKS! :4_17_5:
Would love to see this in the flesh if ur going to MK and taking it...
I'm feeling rather envious and demotivated/embarassed over my first attempt at building up my Torker Freestylist and Skyway Street Beat. They just ain't anywhere near this league
That goes for loads of other bikes I have seen on here, of course. They're all great :daumenhoch:
-
I get that moist patch every time I build a bike ;D and I got another one to build this weekend too :LolLolLolLol:
I can't make MK this year as my (cough, cough) 40th birthday arrangements are gonna clash big stylee ... gutted !!! :-[ :(
