1983 PK RIPPER. VINTAGE OLD SCHOOL BMX RACING BMX BIKE

The 1983 PK Ripper is a legendary BMX bike model from SE Racing, one of the most iconic names in BMX history. The PK Ripper is widely considered one of the most innovative and influential BMX frames of all time. Here's some context about the bike and its history:

Origins of the PK Ripper
PK stands for Perry Kramer, a professional BMX rider and co-founder of SE Racing.

The PK Ripper was originally designed in the late 1970s and quickly became popular in the BMX racing community due to its lightweight design and superior performance.


Frame Material: The 1983 PK Ripper featured an aluminum frame made from 6061 T6 alloy. This was revolutionary at the time because most BMX frames were made from steel. The aluminum made it much lighter without sacrificing strength.

Floval Tubing: The frame used unique "floval" (flat oval) tubing, giving it added stiffness and strength while standing out visually.

Loop Tail Design: The rear of the bike had a "loop tail" design, which was both stylish and functional for added durability.

Landing Gear Forks: The bike was equipped with SE Racing's proprietary "Landing Gear" forks, which were known for their strength and reliability.
