In fact trying to source old yet "Right" bits will be much harder than fitting NOS parts ,you are going to need the right patina lol

It may have come as a full bike , but not so sure , most came as frame sets , so parts are your choice

got to be redline 401s for that age as i dont think 400s or profiles were about that early

spokes such as 7c or 7bs  or tuff 1s

dia compe 890s

all era correct for that frame

Ooo, I missed this thread. That looks really cool.

I'd go with a tuff neck square corner stem

old 1pc cranks (old ones)

rat-trap pedals

if you can't get the arayas or tuff 1's you could try femco's or CMC's (I think it was CMC) or any heavy duty steel rims

Race Inc or Tuf Neck alloy  ;)

Early SE bars maybe ?

Weren't the first tuff II's out by 1980??

some of the alloy cranks were available too dura, 600, I'm sure the Suntour VX's also.

Have a look in the museum on this site plus, check out the SE bikes and older mongeese etc on the http://www.bmxmuseum.com/ site too.

Sweet find by the way :daumenhoch:

vx cranks or dura ace for sure, i like 600's but i would go for vx's first on a ripper. MX5 headset(if you can find one) redline alloy v bars or race inc bars, mx seat, araya 7c's (or 7b's if your budget goes that far) square corner tuf neck, shimano tourney brakes etc,etc  just have to remember it's not mine :smitten: 'cause i wish it was.

Well at last i might have a pair when i saw the ones on the blue ripper thought the bloke had had my pants down without the aid of the vass  :'(  but looks like its not as bad as i first thought . Are the mini rippers hard to come by its the first one i have come across and when i was a kid i used to sit look at pictures and drool for hours my little lad thinks he is getting it but he is sadly mistaken cant wait to see his face xmas day when he opens a toys r us action man dog shit special  :'( the camcorder will be rolling  :2funny: growing up would not be the same unless one kid had the piss taken out of him and i am more than willing for him to be it seen has he colured my new haro tyres in over this weekend little ba-tard  :knuppel2:

He will be as popular as a fart in a space suit on xmas day when he tries to jump the old 2brick ramp in the street and makes it look like a f-cking 1000lb bomb has hit it and once again you guessed it the world shitityest dad ME will be doing his best to make another £250 you've been framed clip to fund my out of control drug like addiction bmx spending and before anyone slags me for my low smackhead like morals using my child you know you would do it too for the next kick ass part lets just hope i dont get a good offer for him as i am after a hutch pro star real bad      offers anyone
