you can't beat a ripper ,  , yes its great when you put the decals on , only thing i hate is when you build it up marking the paint

[Macmania]

Tis a beauty  

[meticulous]

stunning, dont see many black rippers anymore, think they were done to death 4 or 5 years ago, so now makes a nice change....

[NORTY40]

Should build into a cracking rider

You're right Sam.

 Dordy's Black and gold un ,,won BOTY about 5 years ago and everyone loved it 


That's gorgeous 

If I allowed myself to have two of the same bikes ,I'd deffo have a Black and gold to go with my other 

Classic colour combo

Nice i like a bit off RIPPER SEX!!   Have you ever seen that Teflon Matte black? i had a Marin mountain bike a few yrs ago and it was matte Teflon black no matter how much mud or dust dirt went on it ,it would just blow of with an airline! I'm fancying my summer Ripper being done in this stealth blackness in the winter!

They are unfortunately, tiny crack by seat post tube aswell which is why I'm using it as a rider. Got some helix dropout savers that deals with it. Shame they wernt put on the bike originally... !

Dropout savers will cover them though

Si ,have a word with retroDan he's got some nice black gumwall freestyle tyres on his bikes , think they were from the states but they were quite cheap and looked nice    or try Justin (Porkchops) again in the states as he was doing some Panaracer copy ones i think 

[AKGOFF]

That looks like its gonna be a beauty Si
