Full Version: SE Bikes.. Same PK Ripper From Old Days?

Hello Gentlemen -

I am looking to buy another PK Ripper but I'm concerned about how they are made these days via SE Bikes. From the limited material I've read, SE Bikes is now owned by a huge Japanese or Taiwan bicycle company, manufacturing thousands of Bikes per year. I bought my former Ripper in 92 direct from the little SE Racing warehouse in San Pedro California. I'd prefer buy a used Ripper and restore it so long the welds are still top notch.

I'm checking ebay and Craig's List and so far people are asking $500+ for just the frames.

Thanks in advance.

What Year PK are you looking for? OK What Generation? You Can Still Buy Direct From SE? Todd Lyons Runs it, They Built Good Products? Look In the retro section that may help.

Hey Guys -

I'm lookinjg to buy 1980s or early 90s Ripper, good or bad condition, but welds must be great. I can deal with re-painting. I want a polished frame with polished landing gear forks. Willing to pay premium. Where to look? Ebay? Craig's?

Thanks! :-)
