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:

Is it the original paint or powder ... might be worth stripping it first to make sure it's not been media blasted  :daumenhoch:

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:
