Nice transformation. I wanted a black ripper but only the Mike Buff was available at the time so I bought that. I've had it for a couple years now and have made some awesome changes. 10" rise bars, Shimano XT 11 speed drive train with an 11-51 cassette, and Grifters have transformed the bikes ride and comfort to be my favourite ride. I'll make a vid when I get around to it and link it in. You've done a nice chop and I love the forks
I know video 11mo ago. But just got my first fast ripper the black one that looks just like that. I like what you said about making it yours. Bought light, cup holder for coffee runs. And a phone mount. I was looking for a good cruiser bmx style bike. Hear good things about that bike. I’m excited to get back to cursing around. Not a tricks guy but i also was never a fan of mountain style bike or beach cruisers. I try a road bike and i was very uncomfortable with it. So to have a bmx style bike with gears and 29” wheels. Long rides gonna be a breeze.love your content! Keep it coming!!!
Cool man. Love the build. I have the pk ripper dj26 and i want to convert it to a 10 speed. Essentially the same outcome as you but with dirtjumper geometry. Fast Ripper is my 2nd fav bike 😊
Love your channel. I subscribed. I'm going to get a Mike Buff as well. I have 3 drop bar gravel bikes. I used to race BMX.. I'm 51 and ride about 150 a week. I want to totally build one with carbon wheels and onyx hubs. . I wanna build a fancy ass one... Love your videos... ✌️❤️
If you like these 27”-29” bikes just go to the big boy shit like free ride and down hill bikes. I have a 2004 specialized P2 free ride and it feels like I’m riding my SE bikes 🤌🏾🤌🏾
This video blows my mind!!! Why buy a signature model ANYTHING to build it DOWN?! “I just bought a Joe Montana signed football and scrubbed his name off and signed mine” “Bro.. just bought a Camaro 2SS and ripped the LS OUT AND PUT IN A 6 banger… imma lovin it”! “BRUH… imma just marry a playboy bunny then chuck her to the side for a banged up Hooters chick… imma live my life!!”
I haven't ridden in many years, and I am looking at the Mike Buff. And like you I cannot leave good enough alone. Have to make it mine. I am not a fan of the red either. How can I get in contact with the place you had the parts powder coated the blue? Do you have to send them something off the bike to match it?
@@bikelifegee yeah I heard that was the flaw of the MB Fast Ripper, they didn’t install the narrow wide like on the black sparkle. I guess they say the chain comes off when riding aggressively or jumping, I think.
MANNNNNNNNN, I literally just got my Mike Buff fast ripper delivered to my front door thanks to CG!!! ❤💛💚 HELLA EXCITED TODAY!!!

Also ditch the seat for a chromag overture in black.

Just to blow your mind job done🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I hate white spokes, so I kept them 🤣🤣🤣 Looks fire bro nice job.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 my rim builder said white would be better so I said ok😅🤣
@@bikelifegee 😂 btw the SE blue is : CYAN PMS299 if you email SE they will give you the colour code, that's how I got it.
💯💯💯🤟🏽
Man i like how the bike came out. Nice.
My "little thing" that I do to all of my bike is to place the Front Brake lever on the right side; therefore, the rear is on the left side.
🔥🔥🔥💯💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Where the dykes should be…….
Where we threw them after last use.
I’m the same way man. Love it!!
Damn-you hooked that bike up
Love the build
You could have put tape where you wanted the powder to stop so then you wouldnt have to sand it off.
You selling factory red/orange handle bars ? Scratched mine and can’t find them anywhere or I have no clue for paint code? Any info helps.

So you sent the rim only to the powder coater? Who built the wheels for you when they were done?
Felix bike shop built the wheels
wtf?!
Homie has no idea who Mike Buff is…
Why destroy a mint MB instead of building up a frame/fork set?
Nah… nah… nah… it bothers me….
yeah... yeahh... now throw an ebike kit on it...
Standing on the frame 😬 I would of gotten pissed especially on that build 🔥🤣
Just a bike it's gona get way worse treatment 🤣
@@bikelifegee agree
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💦
Did you replace the crank sprocket because of the dreaded chain drop that the Mike Buff FR is known for?
It needs a narrow sprocket that's why I changed it
@@bikelifegee yeah I heard that was the flaw of the MB Fast Ripper, they didn’t install the narrow wide like on the black sparkle. I guess they say the chain comes off when riding aggressively or jumping, I think.
What front shock forks are you running? How do you like the ride?
Rock shox my favorite bike now lol
Looks a little like old school Z rims😀
Bike fram is alloy??
Yup
what do you think of the new Quad Killer ?
I'm so done buying bikes I don't even look at them anymore🤣🤣🤣🤣
What kinda seat is that you put on the mike Dufff bike?
Brooks c17
@@bikelifegee thank you
