« on: July 06, 2007, 06:29 PM »
Had a nice surprise when i got in from work tonight, my shiny new '07 PK ripper. This thing is AWESOME. Can't wait to get it built up, just not sure what I'm gonna do with it yet...

The geometry is all here http://sebikes.com/2007/frames.asp

It's a lot longer than my old '83 model that's for sure. These things are so new i haven't even seen one built yet!

Totally agree. Would have preferred a U brake setup on these but seems like SE have been doing it the V brake way for years. A real shame. But hey, i still love it and can't wait to get it together. Hopefully we'll have a late summer!

Mark, are they Paul brakes?  How much were they - look mighty sweet  :daumenhoch:

Lloyd, I think you should go new school all the way but with retro colours, a mix of mid and old school colours that is as more and more new school stuff is available in retro colours  :daumenhoch:

Yeah seems like new school is the way to go with it really. Need to sort some wheels first, any suggestions on wheels guys?

Those Paul brakes are superb, but I don't know if I can justify a ton on brakes! Was thinking Shimano for the brakes, just from having a quick look around...

I'd take a look at the Proper rims/hubs, Trev would be your man to get some sorted out.  They're great rims and come in some cool colours too  :daumenhoch:
