along with supercross; kappa were the first companies to make limited runs of retro framesets

Suppercross did the Skunk Quads 24 & 26 project also the Nomorea's and  26 gjs retro frames

Kappa did various including the hutch retro's and pk but they also sold a cutom service to tweak / order your frames with different styles (profile 3 bar etc.)

And Jessie Vargas - Jumped on the bandwaogon with VRP racing and ripped off loads of people to the turn of thousands (however if you were lucky enough to get one of his frames they were amazing - as they were fabricated by Sal - who used to be one of the main welders for SE back in the day)

Later came JC (Johny Chopper) and Knight

Two of my old ones:-



Kappa made 21 of the PK20 frames (number 21 going to Perry Kramer himself) but  rumour has it when SE rose from the ashes they put paid to Scott making anymore SE tribute frames

I know where ther is a K20 frame in raw for sale (same as the red one)  :coolsmiley:

I also know where there is a candy blue Starsky F&F (my loft lol)
