Rippers
« on: May 27, 2006, 07:06 PM »
One of my all time bestest bikes in the world is the Ripper.

I got this one from the states around christmas and didn't like most of the bits on it


Today I've been trying to get it to what I've always wanted and so far I reckon it's coming on alright  ???



It was a nightmare getting the old crank off and embarrassing trying to fit the new one  :-[, I took the GT stem off to change it for a tuf neck and there was about 3 inches of the forks sticking out of the top, so I've ended up leaving it on, was gonna put some black oakley 3's that I'd been hunting for ages on it, but think the blue sharps look better, still got to get a new non goldie lookin' chain and a seatpost clamp and I'm about there  :4_17_5:

PS I know it's got a flat on the front, there's no brakes to speak of and if I could work out how to peel the landing gear decals off the backing paper without ruining them, they'd be on it aswell  :P

Yes mate they are Technique.

Originally red but painted over with some crappy black paint that comes away very easy  :)

Don't know much about them, but they're aluminium, light and really fookin chunky  :-\
