Super sweet build Mick, Red /Gold is just as good a combo as Black /gold in my book

Dan's work is stunning for sure and a Ripper is one of those frames that really need a quality paint / powder job otherwise the welds get hidden and then it just looks pants.

I'm not a fan of those Helix drop out savers though but they do the job

the round ones look better and were made specifically for the Ripper by SE
