I am not sure if it's an RA10 or RA9? Like a Looptail Ripper but with round tubing instead. The welds on this are really nice

Araya 20 X 1 3/8 Rims with Suzue Sealed Bearing Hubs
Race Inc Alloy Bars
Tuf Neck Mini Stem
Uni Turbo Hammerhead Seat
Petes Precision Powerdisc
165mm 1 Piece crank
Race Inc Padset etc

What do you think ??

Thanks

very very nice build, think your better off trading me them pro pads for some dia compe tho

duncan · « **Reply #12 on:** October 02, 2006, 09:13 PM »

Fantastic build, lots of rare parts on there too.
The 1 3/8 wheels really suit it, it does look very light - ready to race!

she's all that!!!!

Very nice build

What size is the frame as it looks like it was not designed for skinnies looking at how close that front wheel is to the underside of the fork!

Frosty · « **Reply #18 on:** October 03, 2006, 09:58 AM »

Nice bike - very clean and crisp looking.

Where di you manage to get the pads, I have been looking for some for a while now, just don't seem to see them!!

pkradman · « **Reply #19 on:** October 03, 2006, 03:52 PM »

the frame does look on the small side , is this the one jj was sellin a while back ?? maybe its a junior or exp .. what is the t/t lenght

nic968 · « **Reply #20 on:** October 03, 2006, 04:55 PM »

Very nice...Great build..

bodamus · « **Reply #21 on:** October 03, 2006, 06:13 PM »

Thanks for the nice comments guys

To answer some questions the Top Tube is 17.5" which I think could make it a RA9? definately a junior or expert size Frame anyway.

The Padset I got from ebay.com a while back minus the padding.

Thanks from bodamus

Frosty · « **Reply #22 on:** October 03, 2006, 07:43 PM »

Ian,

Just measured my frame and it is 17" centre to centre. I'm looking through my old mags at the moment to find a Race Inc ad I'll post details as and when I find it. It may help id yours.

Regards

Paul

Typical, just as I post the last message I turn a page and see an ad.

Here's the scoop. The RA 9 description from BMX Action ad March 84.

The Ra-9 is for riders who are not quite fully grown. The same frame that Kevin McDougal rode to win the 1983 NBL National #1 title in the 11 year expert class. 100% American made of 6061 seamless drawn aluminium tubing., heli-arc welded, then heat-treated to a T-6 hardness. Weighs in at a scant 3lbs 6oz with no rider weight restriction. The RA-9 comes in black, blue, red or gold anodized and black, blue, red or white epoxy paint. Also available in ball burnished.

No gussets on the frame at the headtube or the bb.

Looks like a very rare RA-9 lucky boy
