2009 SE Racing P.K. Ripper Team XLP

2009 Team XLP

2009 Team XLP P.K. Ripper
Hi everyone!
This is my brand new P.K. Ripper!
It is the Team XLP version. And it ROCKS!!! 100% stock except for the seat post and seat.

Edit, Changed handle bars to Solid Roseanne bars, and switched back to stock seat and seat post.

Whoa! Look at the seat stays; way cool.

Very sharp looking bike

Well, I certainly hope it will not crack! (trin pray)

I don't plan on riding it very aggressively, and I only weigh 155 pounds. On a side note, I had to buy an aluminum shim for the seatpost as the seatpost is only 25.4mm and the seat-tube is 27.2mm (larger then ever), So I would hope that that area of the frame is stronger then ever before.

I noticed that the 'brace' welded on the head tube is not the same as pictured on SE's webpage for this bike. I guess I don't mind because it makes the frame look more symmetrical. Though I wonder if it is a structural improvement or not.

"Very sharp looking bike"

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought! I was browsing the web a few weeks ago and I wondered if they still made P.K. Rippers to this day, Found SE's website, then the bike,,, and became Obsessed with it,,, I could not sleep until it was mine!!! I'm an old-schooler in bit a of a 'revival'. Now I just wish I could go back to 1981 to show it off...

Alright, alright... I lowered it a few inch's!

I'm kinda tall for a 20" bike. And I'm in my 40's... No more than a small bunny hop or curb jump for me. And I don't want my knees hitting my jaw as I cruise around the hood.

Still don't know why kids these days ride around on sweet 20' bikes with the seat at the lowest possible position.... Wait... I think I know, Lemme guess... To keep their pants from falling off?!?...

nice bike! if I was buying new, that is probably what I'd get. I raced one in the 80s.
same deal with seat post here, mine doesn't make the bike look great overall, but I like/want/need the extra legroom for cruising around. 6' human at 38 years of age -- comfort > *

I also had to " buy an aluminum shim for the seatpost as the seatpost is only 25.4mm and the seat-tube is 27.2mm" it fits prefect and I have no worries about cracks, if it does, then I have an excuse to buy a PK Ripper frame

that was my first eBay purchase as no one seems to sell them locally, happy as could be though

Great P.K. , congrats on your purchase.I just picked the same exact one up at my LBS yesterday (got a GREAT deal on her) and i've had it out twice so far, and love it.

Actually i DO like them and since they're so freakin huge i'll be ordering a set as test mules before custom ordering a set of VDC's. Keep us posted as you change her, i'll be adding mine eventually

allstar720 · 2011-02-01 10:53am

Can either of you 2 gentlemen that own this bike tell me what size the dropouts are? I just ordered myself the exact bike for a cruiser and was hoping to add a set of white Skyway Tuff II's.
Peace

MSMXII · 2011-02-06 10:47am

Drops are 3/8" my friend Congrats on the big boy SE, youlll love it
