i'd say that's a fair price.

[brass monkey!]

looks pretty clean to me, and with Chome LG's !

If I was the seller i'd have expected to get about £350 to £380 for it

[rarman1]

why are they so expensive, are rippers that rare compared to other bmx

[DR VINOAH]

so many broke wbw

i presume thats why

and also the fact

there one of the most iconic/moto exotica bmx frames made

[rarman1]

i see

were they costly bitd, are all of them alloy?

In 84 they were about £170,  a firebird freestyler was £70 and a Quad in black was £180. For some reason a blue Quad was a bit cheaper. Haro's and Skyways were a bit cheaper than the Ripper but only by a few quid.
As far as I know the Ripper was only made of Aluminium, Landing Gear forks were Chrome Moly though.

How much was a trickstar BITD   

I would say that is about right for a nice Ripper

Found one advertised in September 85 for £239 a white TA was £150. Good this, gives me another excuse to look through the magazine colection
