just dont touch that "sundance cycles" sticker

much nicer with the DY's.

just goes to show, bikes dont always need aerospeeds, flights or grafs to be top knotch.

Yeah, never lose that sun dance ca decal

Mint, some serious kit on that bike!

I like that. I fitted ARX forks on my bike when I first had it thinking Landing Gears were heavy. Then I went and bought some Tuffs !
The cranks look good too. They weren't very common when new. There were lots of Maxy Cross cranks around in the early 80's but most has 1 piece ones or went for Fight Cranks if they had the money and broke everything else.

Bottema's always look sweet on a Ripper

lovely build indeed

Very nice Glen.

If weight is an issue maybe ditch the DX's...!!

Badbaldie · « **Reply #33 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:51 PM »

great build ,

nice to see a ripper without lg's and still looking right

glenboy · « **Reply #34 on:** June 06, 2012, 09:51 PM »

cheers guys

, i think i'm happy with it now

, i really like the rippers on skinnies i think with the oval tubing it just lends it to it

I've got 7 without LG's and they all look right....or at least to me

Nice mods Glen. It gets faster & faster

Just a thought, would a hollow OPC knock off a bit more weight?

maybe as with the bottom bracket etc its not light the current setup , i think as dubber says i might have to get the old drill out anbd get some hole drilling done

Well my 1st thoughts are Fred but I'm not 100% sure. I'll ask him and let you know pal

I know what your saying Danny but the whole bike was built with one thing in mind (operation lightweight ?) or was that someone elses bike ? anyway for that reason it works, far too many builds have the focus on getting everything to match and sometimes the point of building a great bike is missed. Now as far as I can remember BITD we got our bikes and put whatever we could afford on them, colour matching or not and usually it didn't match

It;s a cool bike with some top parts and it's as light as hell

You are so right mate.

we used everything usable to race our bikes and did not give a shit about top brands

those donuts are looking a tad on the heavy side

AusBMX · « **Reply #45 on:** September 23, 2012, 11:58 AM »

Reckon she'd be a whole lot lighter with a set of one piece cranks! Lovely build mate, reminds me of my own Ripper. Those DY bars are unreal!

CustardLips · « **Reply #46 on:** September 25, 2012, 12:34 AM »

Looks Nice. Wouldn't mind a go of that. Always liked skinny rims !

Devilock · « **Reply #47 on:** September 30, 2012, 11:04 AM »

Back again! Did you apply those Bottema decals Glen?

glenboy · « **Reply #48 on:** October 03, 2012, 01:15 AM »

no rich the decals were on them when i got em, why , i've changed the wheels to some 1.5 chrome arayas with bullseye hubs and 1.5 tyres so still skinnyish will update the pics tomorrow, the dx crank looks more in keeping now with the wider wheels i';d say

Its just that they're not the correct decals! No big deal though! I do like this build...looking forward to seeing the pics mate. Give me a shout if you sell!!
