what would you do mini ripper rad poll

[muddstud]

Hi there i know you have all seen this bike but i can not decide what to do       
I was going to leave it as it was and build it with used bits
Or should i start from new

What would you do
I will go with the majority
cheers

Restoration all the way.  Get the f&f refinished in red (SBD has that loverly translucent red), polish the CBR BB, get the cranks & bars re-anodised at Custom Colors, grab a polished or red Suntour Mini stem (Longun has one for sale) and rebuild the puppy    Restoration is deffo the way to go  .  A mix of used and new will look great  .

[TwoBobRob]

I say do both   

Survivor build this year, then full on posh resto for next year   

[munners]

Resto as i dont think you will ever make it be appreciated in that condition as it does look tatty. Whereas if you pwdered it would be a very unique frameset......especially in that red that Dan is doing at the mo.  

Nice.

But cant get the thought of them fishing weights out of my head
