Ripper's have been a hugely popular bike again since the os interest and tricky to build something that hasn't seen before. But you always manage something fresh, taking it up a notch with the quality and bung in some lovely details. I bet you've got a handsome set of plums too Steve.

I really like that, not a fan of Rippers as bitd everyone we sold came back broken at some point but I have to say that looks fantastic. 

You are indeed the Mr Kipling of old school bmx, building exceedingly good bikes 

[QUADROPHENIA]

The wheels are out and I'm lacing the new hubs in soon 

I'm still not feeling the camo pads though ... what d'ya reckon. I'm thinking black and gold 

[DIRTBIKER250F]

The customs are just an extension of the governments and all the phoney taxes they invent.
Lovely Build

P.S 
The Camo Pads look sweet...really break up the colours...GNARLY

I like the camos one day and hate them the next ... damn, I'm getting way too fussy in my old age

[double chevron]

How did I miss that one ?

Amazing as always, top parts choice, looks like there has been an excellent resto job on the cranks, love the finish 

[Steve P]

Thanks Guys 

Amazing as always, top parts choice, looks like there has been an excellent resto job on the cranks, love the finish 

The crank was in pretty good shape when I got it Arnaud ... there was plenty of battle damage to keep me busy though 



There was also some nasty chain slip damage behind the spider which is long gone now too 





I chose not to polish the arms and left them with a smooth 'satin' alloy finish instead ... brushed faces like those on the Maxy Cross too
