heres a couple of pics of my pk ripper i finished for epic ,i built the bike using all alloy components which i mirror polished,most parts were stripped with caustic then about 3 days of polishing,i have owned the frame for about 23 years, until 4 weeks ago the frame was broken in two places, and also had a new seat tube fitted (cheers donker) i cut out original tube and had new one welded in, also thanks to my wife for making pads and seat cover.....

hi townshend thanks for your kind comments,you should have seen frame a month ago it had been behind my garage for 5 years and was badly scratched and oxidised,give it a go they clean up real easy, i went through the grades of wet and dry 180 240 400 500 and finally finished in 600 then about 5 hours on the bench polisher

Yeah I saw that too. That is seriously bling. Great work.

Gotta say, it's not entirely to my taste, but I like it when people are different, and do a unique interpretation. Props for that dude

As gman said , not to my taste but a serious bike all the same , I love the silver decals on polished alloy , looks very subtle and imho a very good idea
