1979 P.K Ripper......Yet another one..

[kungfunky]

Finally making some progress in building my pre serial Rippers up and heres the latest installment. I wanted one that looked a little different but still kept that unique 70's vibe and look about it and I think it works well with the pale Tan and Brown. Theres still a couple of minor things I need to change like switch the seat guts, get some 12g spokes for the wheels (these are temporary) but apart from that its all finished.
As for the spec I decided on this line up, some of it NOS, some refurb and some just left as it is.

special.

well done bud.

[kungfunky]

yup I know, took the seat straight out the packet and put it on. Just need to switch the guts round as these seats have little space to move on the rails.

[stidds]

Every time I come back I notice something else I like.

Those aggressors are so nice and really suit the bike.  And I do love a fook off big chainring, looks about the same size as the one on my DeCoster (46t).


Lush Ash, just lush.
