Ripper XL race bike redone (parts swapped again lol)

[Dingobmxer]

A few of you have seen my old Ripper xl I race on from time to time (some from the front,some from behind but most people recognise the underside as it slid along the track lol) and it was in a very sorry state, drop outs butchered by the previous owner and VERY battle scarred:-



drops



after a trip to here www.giaengineering.co.uk




now I dont know if I am missing my GPZ1100 or secretly wanted a green Street-Beat but I decided on bright Kawasaki green




and built up it looks a little like this (but needs decals to finish)




Thanks to Gav at GIA for the repair and Kirk for paint and Emma for twirling the spanners for me 



all opinions good and bad welcomed

  DINGO

p.s this ISNT a show pony but a bike that will get used in anger

Thumbs up from me, would look great next to J.T's Frogangle on a track, at least yours will actually get ridden 

Cool

Mark, are they full new drop outs or the old ones repaired? Looks a bloody good job which ever way it was done

Thanks for the comments guys,

I wanted it to look different and it certainly does, I just put some large SE decals on the downtube in red and now it looks like a fruit salad chew 

  DINGO

Nice bike Mark, would like to see it at MK

[subversion]

Not a fan of green (the black looked great) but sterling metal work on those drops

[magna13]

I think after you've rode it for a few years Mark, i think you should go back to the what it was with the lush black and the 90's decals

[scooterboy]

Hey Mark, good work fella. Could do with a little more chrome in my opinion (araya maybe ?)

I actually like it now
