Or is RL sporting centreline style Landing Gear forks on his PK? Something I have noticed before.

prosight

COASTY

Dec 19 2006, 04:17 AM

Bugger me. Your right. Thats gotta be a rare item. 1 of 1 I would imagine. I thought Buff rode a PK. I don't remember ever seeing RL on a PK.

mcam

Dec 19 2006, 04:32 AM

Yes, they are definitely centreline style Landing Gears.

I recall that photo, and yes, at one stage, I'm sure RL rode a PK (RL rode a lot of different bikes)

Damn, looking at those photos takes me back

KOSY-MOTO

Dec 19 2006, 04:34 AM

AndyDiamond

Here's a 'survivor':

AndyDiamond

Dec 19 2006, 04:08 PM

Luis - you saw that Redline at my house homie!

Proline - the forks are the same as that I have here (and need to damn well photgraph for you).

KOSY-MOTO

Dec 19 2006, 04:18 PM

Andy: Did I?... can't recall? did it have the plate at the time? Hmmmm.. That survivor looks hot dude.. BUT red tyres on a chrome Redline don't match.. needs blk tyres.. thats my 5cents

I've yet decided on what bike I will put red tyres!!

AndyDiamond

Dec 19 2006, 04:27 PM

Didn't have the plate (ex. Martin) at the time.

To be honest the bike looks cool but is a little kid's bike.
Too small.
I like my bikes pro size!

I don't like coloured tyres much.

Mind you, Prosight would probably put white tyres on it - lol

KOSY-MOTO

Dec 19 2006, 05:02 PM

Yeah Im the same coloured aren't my cup of tea.. BUT then again on the Kosy they look a-killer

AND whats wrong with white tyres? huh.. hehehe

AndyDiamond

Dec 19 2006, 05:07 PM

White tyres are GHEY but that's why you like them!

KOSY-MOTO

mcam

Dec 19 2006, 10:30 PM

Luis,

In 1981, all GT framesets were available in blue, red or black epoxy, except for the pit. That was only available in chrome

For 1982, they offered the same colours, and as far as I know in late 1982, through 1983, they also offered black chrome.

serva

Dec 20 2006, 12:38 AM

Mr.BMX

Dec 20 2006, 12:47 AM

LOL Marty. Are you sure? I wouldn't be arguing anything GT related with Mcam

Hey Meatpie - Nice project material there!!!

QuicksilverBMX

Dec 20 2006, 02:03 AM

Serva, yeah a bumble bee is an 80's bmx, i found one today

serva

Dec 20 2006, 03:11 AM

I thought it rang a bell. I remember gorking at one in a Standish shop in Adelaide as a kid. It was maroon with yellow decals and gum coloured comp III's. Cool looking bike. I also sat on a brand new d/b turbo......should've put that on lay-buy! [ it was $550 ....doh ]

COASTY

Dec 20 2006, 03:41 AM

I might have a deal comin shortly. If all goes well I'll be riding a very familiar ride once more. Heres hoping!
Nice projects too guys. Should look awsome when finished.

mcam

Dec 20 2006, 03:51 AM

Oh yeah, they also came in chrome...LOL

I forgot that bit...LOL

Oh, and if anyone has a pair of 1982/83 GT 24 forks, please let me know. I'd like to find some....

Jarvi

Dec 20 2006, 03:53 AM

Glenn, is a PK getting close? I'm getting closer to finally finishing mine which was very similar to yours.

COASTY

Dec 20 2006, 04:19 AM

yeah baby. This guy knows his bikes (he's Patterson guy) and he said it has Tuffs on it too.

OZZYBMX

Dec 20 2006, 04:20 AM

hey check out the robinson crap on ebay.com.au

http://offer.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...em=110069589286

there was 3 bids cancelled including mine , and 4 bids retracted on the auction !

i bid ONCE was sent a "outbid" notice 3 TIMES over 2 days !!!

.... "you are now the highest bidder" ......"you have been outbid"...... "you are now the highest bidder" ......"you have been outbid" ect ,, i stuck a $77 bid on it to test the high bidder strength ! and its filled my email with junk

well watch out for the seller in the future , obviously someone has offered him some $$$$ off ebay and he has jumped ship .

hope you got a good deal waz

Jarvi

Dec 20 2006, 04:28 AM

That's great news Glenn if you can pull it off. Mine has been 12 months in the making andf after a false start with the frame there is another on the way. Hoping it arrives this week but who knows...

OldSkoolRoy

Dec 20 2006, 04:40 AM

See the brake bridge on the diamond back...It's curved and has the little peice for the brakes allready on there. I've got a frame here with the exact same brake bridge but has a different head tube gusset. It has a round hole insted of a diamond. The frames look identical. Anyone know what this thing is?? I'll put up a photo latter.

OZZYBMX

Dec 20 2006, 04:51 AM

why do us in OZ have so much trouble getting loopy rippers in good condition here ?

if its not ripped off by the seller .... its sent a cracked up piece of junk .

tip: you might already do this - search on ebay.com under "RIPPER" in the "sporting goods" section . the one i eventually got was listed as a "p.k ripper" which doesnt show up by searching for "pk ripper" - just a tip that got me a super condition cheapie , well ...$235us for a original paint job ,non dented, non marked, no cracks, 81 loopy with USlg's. sold by the ex wife of husband who rode it 20 yrs ago and left it in the garage

Jarvi

Dec 20 2006, 05:17 AM

I didn't have a problem with the first frame other than I wasn't able to polish it to my satisfaction and decided to look around for another. The upside, I will get to have a beautiful painted one as well...

OZZYBMX

Dec 20 2006, 05:47 AM

all good then jarvi , there is a few complaints from aus members that the first go they had at getting loopy pk ended in failure (inc mine) . hey a powdercoated loopy is worth as much as a polished one .... maybe not to you who wants a polished frame . and paint can hide the things we dont want to see !

Mattblack

Dec 20 2006, 04:07 PM

Roy that Diamond back was made at the KOIZUMI factory in Japan. They made other frames and parts as well. It is posiably a Bennet, check the serial number on the rear drop out. KOIZUMI used the baseball stamp on most of there products.

KOSY-MOTO

Dec 20 2006, 05:37 PM

Thanks for the GT ad's.. BUT still doesn't tell me what colour CRUISERS they made.. Im a proud owner of a 1981 GT-24 (Chrome).. but wanna paint it red or blue maybe candy? thats why I waan know what year and colours were available?

www.martin-bike.com

Dec 20 2006, 10:18 PM

Had to put the GTs on hold so experimenting with a candy apple red PK. This has been powdercoated - different to the Redline.

Still trying to figure out combinations.

broke L345

Dec 20 2006, 11:42 PM

I love candy red bikes!!!! hey kosy, that redline mxII was my first restoration, it now has black oakley 3s on it. I'm glad you like it.

Yeah, it rained in Sydney most of last night.

AndyDiamond

Dec 21 2006, 12:59 AM

Well that PK's gotta have chrome or gold rims right?

Or black graphite tuffs?
