Mmm, the black one looks nice. I spent $400 on TT pro and $100 in parts. Should I have bought the Ripper? :lol: I'd look ridiculously riding it though.

Yes there is. The secrecy of this tie is what keeps bikesdirect.com in business.

I dusagree. I don't think anyone out there buying a complete bike for half the cost of its logical competitors is concerned about this, or expects that they're getting novel engineering. It would take about 15 seconds of Googling "Motobecane" to figure out a Kilo TT isn't Italian and has no heritage, but it doesn't stop people. A brand like Cannondale is different. If, after years of claiming to be leading the way in innovation, it were discovered that the SuperSix Hi-MOD frame was a rebranded generic product, it would be tough to sell another one.

Old-school PK Rippers were the **** back in the heyday of BMX racing. I miss those days.

Does BMX racing on a dirt track even still exist?

Sorta kinda. These days they over groom the tracks, to the point where it's kind of hard to still consider it to be dirt. Street tires are now more competitive than knobby tires. Not much jumping anymore, either.
