My comeback/farewell build,83 ripper
« on: May 21, 2019, 07:29 PM »
So almost 6 years out of the game thought it was about time for one more build,I'd never got around to building anything SE in the years I was building so thought it was about time I did,so here she is my 83 ripper,fresh from a powder coating by you know who and built with a slight vintage feel.this build really all came about after a ridicous impulse purchase of the gen 1 powerbend bars last summer,I  saw them on eBay.com and had to have them because of the similarity to my fave bars star bars to which I've owned loads of sets over the years ,at that point i didn't even have a frameset to put them on and was happily retired!

PARTS LIST

83 ripper F&f (unstamped landing gear)
Gen 1 powerbend bars
Oury grips

Dc cable
Dc pre bent lever
