Deffo not robbed i would love it, they are the coolest SE frames in my mind, grossly underated, got to be one of the greatest midschool frame n forks ever, but they do feel weird after ridin old school, checkout the head tube angle, yours is set up almost identicle to mine, my bars are slightly further back but not much, make sure back wheel is as tight to the frame as poss to shorten back end and make front lighter. i find it very very stable in the air but i cant get as much height as i can on my sport so ive stuck it on the back burner at mo. Gary PK6175 or whatever on this site has an xl ripper same year and exactly same geometary (as they came off the same jig) he uses slightly lower and narrower bars than me ( i use SE Crow bars ) and he has an inverted stem, his bike does tend to pull up better.  its just a different beast to old bikes, a completely different feel, will take some gettin used to, i raced mine at MK and it rode amazinly, Top race bike but dirt jumpin is an effort, but it does feel as tho it would be cool on vert but never really tried it on ramps just arials on berms and the like.

is it the same year ripper late v/late eighties v/early nineties? if so the seat tube angle is different to the ripper XL but that shouldnt effect the overall ride.

What are those brakes? It's rare to find brakes like those where the cable runs on the left.
