bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
PK Ripper, SE Racing, Race inc, Redline, Mongoose, Haro, DG...ever heard of a Crisp? Not into any club, just here today enjoying them now as back in the day. Many more gem bikes not shown here. First generation aluminum frame loop tail PK Ripper early 1979-1984 BMX bikes success & product placement and for profit -yes, I get it. It`s just a blingey painted bike object. Got one. PK`s are still top shelf :-) Had a chromoly Mongoose in 1980. Not sold and bought from Walmart, or Kmart, or Sears. Bought from a locally owned bike shop back in the day. Good fun and still glad to have one. Thanks for watching

Nice bike fella. I'm a life long PK fan and built my dream bike in 2014. Some one stole it last week so I have just bought a Mike Buff PK with the insurance payout. Will be keeping this one in the house...

For the record, in 1980 when this year PK Ripper was debuting, Pink Floyd hit gold with this song track - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IpYOF4Hi6Q

5000+ views as of today? Wow, ease up peeps, this was just a quick spontaneous share here. Raise the level. More old school BMX legends in the collection, early 1975 motomag goose and an original unrestored 1980 gold anodized Race inc. R8 mini, if this is not your taste, ok…more later on those. These go for sale sooner or later. Live well. Viva!

Specs on candy red PK Ripper:
This bike represents the history of American BMX Racing and Manufacturing! The 79-84 Looptail was not typically purchased as complete bikes back in the day. Riders would usually purchase the frame/forks and then build up with racing parts of their choice. This bike was built in that same spirit. This original SE PK Looptail frame was professionally powder to enhance the flawless welds and look as close as possible to the original finish. The frame is free of any damage or repairs. The forks are FIRST GENERATION SOLID DROPOUTS SUPER RARE 79 80 unstamped Landing Gear Forks. They were finished to match the frame. the rest of this bike was assembled using either OG or authentic NOS parts. 'New Old Stock' from the 80's! NOT NEW OLD SCHOOL or RETRO PARTS! The only "NEW SCHOOL" parts is the two drop-out savers as protection and brake cable
