Its needing a lot of attention...

Strip off the paint, and repainting or....  :-\ Leave it alloy.

Original paint was beige/yellow....  :smitten:

Rebuilding it with the right wheels and other parts....

but its still  a lot of work  :(

Tell us more about how you found it? You mention a surprise...  ???

Yes it was quite a surprice.. i was looking on the internet for a new road/school bike for Senzo (my son).  :coolsmiley:

So i was looking in the kidsbike section. And there was this posted.  :shocked:  As old school SE racing cruiser.
There was a phone number and i did phone the owner who was a BMXer , and he was selling this . It was a bike who was owned by his uncle. Old bmxer in the eighty's.  :)

He did descrive it as an old PK Ripper with big wheels... So it had to be an Floval imo.  :D

I was telling him , i am on my way to you and did drive 140 km for this . And 1,5 hrs later 140 km back  ;)

thats the story..and that was the surprice. i was not looking for a score.. but unaspected had one...

never could believe i was finding an Floval in the wild.... :4_17_5:

Just like the PPP stem and my kuwi cruiser  :smitten:
