Its the only way forward, show and shine is nice, but riding is where its at.

Good luck on the job front

im getting a longer seatpost though and i dont care !!

Sink · « **Reply #8 on:** April 05, 2012, 02:28 PM »

Thankfully mine only has a short post, it's up a fist hight, but I'm resisting the urge to put a long post on it

bobbbbsy · « **Reply #9 on:** April 05, 2012, 02:33 PM »

100-150mm showing would be ok but not them ones that are as long as the width of my todger!!

Sink · « **Reply #10 on:** April 05, 2012, 02:39 PM »

I'm upto the max line on mine which is 70mm of post showing. If your todger is a wide as that, I'd hate to be your misses

70mm is no good to actually use as a seat to pedal, but if your hanging about looking cool

, it's somewhere to park your arse, while watching the world go by

bobbbbsy · « **Reply #11 on:** April 05, 2012, 02:40 PM »

no.. 8.1 mm

try a retro pk ripper,i got 2011 model it has the old school look,but suits the older rider

Sink · « **Reply #19 on:** April 07, 2012, 07:37 PM »

I have a 2011 KHE maceto ST now mate. And love it

Not if you want to ride a park they're not.......shyte alloy frame with a v brake........spend £300 on a WTP complete and bobs your uncle.

The ripper is fine for racing or cruising but no good at all for parks.
