Post by: Dingobmxer on June 28, 2009, 02:27 PM
For many years I have owned raced on a PK Ripper XL which someone had hacked the dropouts on:-

I bodged some plates up to hold the back wheel sort of in and lived with it spitting me over the bars periodically but recently I found this guy www.giaengineering.co.uk and took it to him

here is the result:-

He made completely new drop outs and welded them in for £80 which I thought was a bargain

If you ring him tell him Mark put you onto him

Great thread Mark, exactly what I need.  I have a alloy frame that has the same hacked dropouts as yours did (actually looks identical) and was wondering who could fix it for me.

Well done mate   :4_17_5:
