a question
« on: December 28, 2006, 11:46 AM »
i picked up a looptail mini ripper yesterday with landing gear lites, it has got a small gold MCS stem on it, and black silver sunshine hubs. Now the F+F is common as muck, but i have never clapped eyes on one of these stems before. Any info would be appreciated. I also want to know what it is worth(mini ripper) as i have no idea. I will add pics later.

I can remember them from bitd but don't think I've seen one in over 20 years.  We used to sell quite a few of them on the juniors and mini's but don't know very much about them other than not being suitable for bigger riders.

I do like the look of them though, I think MCS were very innovative and ahead of their time with their designs, it's got a real mid to new school look about it.

Nice bike though, where do you find these little gems?

The downtube decals came from "steve" ... I had an A4 sheet full of them but I let them go with the bike when I sold it  :(
