Reviews: PK Ripper Looptail Complete Bike Release

Okay, you want an old school bike and have some money to spend but you don't want to go to e-bay each day to get the bike together part by part. Well, you don't have to now. SE Racing came out with a retro looptail PK Ripper that looks the part. It might not be your cup of tea when you just started out riding but I'm positive jaws will drop when the old school guys see the bike. It brings back memories to the time when two people were holding the starting gate (pre lights and magnets) and one-pedal starts. When it was okay to put your leg out in the turn and nobody was complaining about the bumps in the track. The bike just became available and be fast if you want one.
