Rear triangle looks off...might just be the camera angle. Just be sure to check it. Good luck!

Re: possible old school PK RIPPER score..Need your thoughts
I look at these beat up old PK frames, and if it needs a repair, I just assume $200 in repairs. $100 for powder. $50 for stickers. Shipping to/from C4 is $50. So, $400 to get it right, on top of your up front cost. And I'm not sure if $100 for powder is high enough.
I just don't think they pencil out most of the time, unless they are rare and pre-SN, or round top tubes.
I bet on eBay, probably a half dozen not needing repair for $400 or so.
So, unless it's a rare model, or, you want to build a carpet queen, or, want to piss money away, or, you have a relative that's a skilled aluminum welder, I'd avoid it unless you can pull it at $50.
Whenever someone says, "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart," all I hear is, "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart."

I can not sit still. I have been tested for A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. and have neither. I don't need coffee, I just need a B.M.X. or surfboard to consistently ride and I'll be happy.
