The PK Ripper Fixed Gear is the 3rd installment in a series of limited edition bike projects from DC and SE Racing. Within this run of 1,000 (in the US), The Standard has micro customized twenty of these PK Rippers to reflect the New York hotel’s signature black and gold style. Fifteen bikes will be available for complimentary use by The Standard New York hotel guests while five are available for purchase now at The Standard’s online shop for $1,250 USD.

Details include: A matte black frame complemented with gold details, anodized gold front rim and small gold logo badge on the seat tube, and a Standard logo is embossed into the custom leather seats. The Standard’s version also has a reversible back hub and rim that allows the bike to easily convert from fixed to freewheel as well as Floval tubing, a Landing Gear fork, a looptail rear end.

    The brakes are required for any street bike sold in the USA, just like “lawyer’s lips” on the front fork. It’s a CPSC requirement, not a statement. They come off for fixed riding in 5 minutes, no big deal. I’m willing to bet The Standard can’t put their guests on fixies without knowing their riding experience, so…

    Whats the point of the breaks if you have cages and straps? I’d ride that fixed.

    Wow, what a lame bicycle. The rear break is even lamer.

    i have one of the ball burnished ripper fixies. the rear brake is useless. its not a msw rim first of all, second of all good luck with barspins! theres not enough toe clearance with the clips. i mean i know standard is hip. i doubt most of the people that stay at this hotel would be able to ride fixed esp on the streets of ny anyways.

    You can always take one from the YUPPY guest at the THE STANDARD HOTEL. Snuff and grab like it’s 96 !! BOOM you got yourself a BIKE !

    I suspect the rear brake is so they can use a flip flop hub for novice bike riders

    because they want the bike to be able to barspin.
