That Ripper looks much better with the proper decals on it.

I totally agree Miles.

Actually, that is about my favourite looking new skool ali bike out there. I thought the welds on my ali Intense were nice, but I think they're bettered on that Ripper - pure quality.

What I enjoy in new skool rides is innovation (love it or hate it, the Intense frame is pretty innovative) and the Ripper has it in spades.

Beautiful rear drop out design and the back triangle / top tube junction is pure poetry.
