pk ripper stickers - opinions wanted
«

i got a black late model pk ripper (not so late its pig ugly though)
the stickers that come on it were horrendous yellow and silver things
anyhoo i bought a set a baby blue stickers, and i was thinking of stripping the frame an polishing it.
how do you think it would look if i just cleaned up the black (paint is still sound) and whacked the stickers on?
baby blue on black? i see a lot of black and gold, not black and light blue.

Looks pretty rad but like you say them stickers ain't right. Not seen the bike of my mates for a while. He's quite a bit younger than me and I didn't know him back in the day but he used to ride for one or the other of Torker or GT in freestyle. He's got loads of trophys n stuff someone might remember him he 's called Andy Shaw from Southport. Alan Woods knows him quite well I think. He had a bike shop in Formby and then in Southport called E11even cos it was one louder.

on the downtubes of my ripper where massive stickers saying "SE" in yellow and silver. i was virtually peeling them off before i left the shop.
orby those stickies look good too.
there is an abundance of pk rippe stickers available. i'll run the blueys until they are fubar then try a different colour!

I like the blue decals on black.
Incidentally...i dont know how you dont like the new ones(its all personal taste).But they are
7005 Ali NOT cro-mo.
.Its a superior ali to the original Rippers.
As for them being too long..its great,i'm 5,11 and i can actually ride the thing comfortably.Ive got an 83 Ripper as well and its lovely but its diddy.
They are real Rippers,they are good quality and i think they are a great new bike...at least they dont snap like the old ones in several different places.(no disrespect to the wonder that is old Rippers).
I dunno maybe you are vertically challenged and feel scared of riding a bike that doesnt remove your kneecapsĀ on the handlebars
Ho ho
I think this is a great looking bike..if anything its probably too retro.

yeh they aint chromo, i misread the info on them.
i have never seen one up close, just in pictures.
i like the older rippers because they are short. mine is a kneecap cruncher!!
hopefully i will meet someone at a skatepark one day with a new ripper and i can have a go.
i'm not too tall though, and prefer a bike with a 36" wheelbase.
but i will give one a go, and will most likely form a different opinion!!!
i know what you mean about the retro look. mine (i believe) is a 21st century bike but looks like it's from the 80's
