finished my holy grail build, PK Ripper kcmo style

[kcmobmx]

 I have wanted a PK since I first laid eyes on one back in the middle school days... in 2005 I got into building bikes and was checking on ebay for bmx stuff to rebuild an old Haro I had in the garage from bitd. I wound up typing in PK Ripper and was shocked to see the high prices on framesets etc. I couldn't see myself dropping that kind of loot on one. I ended up later with a BEAT XL frame that I had sent out to The Frame Doctor for repairs that included dropout refinishing, head tube replacement, and filling of many gouges and grind marks. then he sent it out for a stunning black powder coating job. it turned out amasing after it was finished. today I finished putting it together and it looks so friggin hot! please everyone let me know what you think...






parts list:
frame: PK Ripper XL 21" TT
fork: 1"  SE Landing Gear

Love it! The seat goes against all that is good and holy but the rest is awesome!

I know I was not very creative on the seat but I was on a budget! I really wanted a Turbo or a nice Ti Svelte in black... those both command $$$!

Yeah thats a sweet mid build, love the chainwheel and the 09 pads  

but the seat is doing it no favours! Nearly as nasty as an Odyessy 777!

I like the brutal honesty I get here I am going to eventually consider a new seat.
