Well I went a bit mental last week when I was off and I seem to have bought a few rippers....

This one has had a weld but is very nice, the guy said he thought they where race inc bars but I was hoping you lot would tell me..... serial PK 61891 which means nothing to me???

Ok so heres the pics as it came but it will be treated to genuine old school parts I promise....

Not to shiny just a little auto sol as like the old look.... Had a weld but by a very reputable welder and had it as few years ago....

Anyway this is as it turned up....

Believe me you can NEVER have enough Rippers

I'm at 17 and counting

The bars do look like RI's but you'd be better off putting Power Wing's on this with it being a PK6 serial. Usual Ripper chew on the drops, I'm sure Animal or Phil could sort that for you

17.......

wow, im at 5 now ha ha........ They are just lush.... Yeah I want some power wings, the RI maybe bars have been painted in SE brown and do look sweet.....

That's not including the Floval Flyers, OM Flyers, Quadangles, Bashers and all the pre 80's SE's

It's hard to see what colour the brown is from the pic but Bad Boy Brown is pretty much the same as UPS brown.
Something like this

OF ALL THE BIKES OUT THERE ,,,,THE RIPPER IS THE ONLY 1 THAT ADORNES THE COLOUR BROWN WELL

question..if i may? what do you Ripper fans think of the straight stay Ripper?

spadey99 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 16, 2013, 08:34 AM »

My other 2 are straight stay ones and 3 loopies. My opinion is straight stay race frame ones ride better and ones my ride to work but loopies just look lush

john4130 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 16, 2013, 06:26 PM »

do you mean the 85 ripper? i like them but i did have to put a lot of spacers on the cranks to stop them from hitting the chain stays on my one. don't know if you could fit a opc on them either.

Moza · « **Reply #20 on:** May 18, 2013, 09:18 AM »

Starting to like them more and more these days, lots of variations too

spadey99 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 21, 2013, 09:12 PM »

finished today... pedals are crap but loving the ride.........

kungfunky · « **Reply #23 on:** May 22, 2013, 08:45 AM »

Looks nice does that

How much of the seat post is in the frame ?. It looks fairly high for a rider, just make sure there's plenty in the frame otherwise it's destined for a frame snap
