owww, early one with the straight chain stays, Scott? You see a lot more loop-tails than you do those mate. Looks sweet too!

Cheers for the appreciation, this thing has been long in the waiting, at the moment i have 2 sets of wheels on order that i am going to switch between. A set of black sealed bearing tuffs with whitewalls and a set of white ukai's, black suzue sealed hubs,chrome spokes and black nipples run on comp 111's. I will put into the museum in both guises.
To answer a question i dont know what model it is pro/pro xl, the top tube is 19 and a half from centre to centre. Perhaps on of you will be able to throw some light on the actual model?
cheers scott.

some useless "get" never let you down on the tuffs did they Scott? very unreliable and unacceptable in my opinion, who was it again?

:o Now dont shoot the messenger but i got told by an American seller that Looptail Rippers stopped being made at the end of 83 and also that they dont have PK in the serial number (that came later).Now i'm just getting into Rippers so dont have a go...i'm just passing it on and i dont know if its true or not...but there you go!!! :o

You know i suggested a FAQ section in the suggestions bit...an I.d. section would be good as well,it would save boring the nads off everyone who have already answered these questions.It would also be handy for people who are buying(as there are Fakes out there as we all know).

Bob_Acid · « **Reply #15 on:** October 10, 2005, 01:39 PM »

they lost the looptail in 85.

dirtyvans · « **Reply #18 on:** October 10, 2005, 06:54 PM »

bob should do Mastermind - my subject is PK Rippers from 1979-1999

my looptail is white, but i like the one in black, makes a change!

are pk rippers as common as skyway TAs now?

sam hudson · « **Reply #19 on:** October 11, 2005, 11:59 AM »

I hope not,ive just bought one from the us of a(not from the guy that told me about the looptail stuff).They are just great bikes and everyone wants a great bike.

I'm going to paint mine baby blue.No-one seems to have posted a pic of a baby blue ripper in the gallery.In fact i havent seen one for ages in b blue.Anyone got a pic of one so i can have a look?

sam hudson · « **Reply #23 on:** October 12, 2005, 07:43 PM »

Nice job,looks great.You must be chuffed with that one?
Did you have probs deciding what shade to go with? I'm trying to find a paint code that matches close to the se blue...i saw a TRANSCO van that looked right but there was no way i was gonna stop and ask the gasman what his paint code was

Its hard to decide whether to paint the landing gear blue or leave them chrome....too many choices with rippers.
i toyed with the idea of matching the paint to my wobbly headsetted 2005 ripper(thats a nice baby blue...but its metallic,so i dont know..and its not all that authentic either).

Nice pics mate,cant wait to see the finished article. :o :o

lazychubs · « **Reply #24 on:** October 12, 2005, 07:54 PM »

i didnt decide wot shade i just asked dan if he had baby blue lol and i was toying with doing the forks as the chrome is a tad worn .but ran out of money so just did the frame for now.
only been waiting since june i fink for stickers lol
(only kidding lee)
and yeah well chuffed with it
spesh as donker did me a new seat tube for it as mine was knackerd
