1980/1 PK RIPPER ! Lean Green Rippin' Machine.
« on: February 08, 2014, 03:57 PM »
Not been feeling the BMX love lately for various reasons but I've enjoyed building this one even though it's taken longer than expected:

Its a 1980 / 81 Loop tail depending on who you speak too.

What's weird is that I would have bought this a frame a few months the earlier if it wasnt for the turbo blowing on the car ! As it happens I ended up taking it as a trade against my Kewie Bravo KT so thank's Bert for this frame  :daumenhoch:

Needs a few tweaks but it's 99% there for me, not exactly how I planned it but I'm loving how it's turned out.

Didn't want to put the usual Kashi or Elina on it so i went with a NOS Velo thunderbolt seat , Can't really tell from the pics but it works well having the subtle thunderbolt detail all in black .. Just a bit it different to the norm i thought... :daumenhoch:

That's a lovely build - I really like it.  :4_17_5:      The green makes a change from the normal colours and you've got the balance on the gold bits just right imo.  :daumenhoch:
