Title: FLOVAL FLYER - ** MY NEW RIDER **
Post by: Steve P on February 15, 2007, 05:30 PM
I won this on the bay last weekend and just received it after many frustrating calls with our good friends at Parcel Force. At one point I was convinced it had gone missing in transit so you can imagine how pleased I was to see it arrive today

It's got some cracking parts including SE cruiser bars, 180 Sugino's, Comp III's, Tioga MX402 sealed headset, etc ... most of which I will keep though the SR stem will be replaced with a nice inverted DK I've got here. It's due for a total strip and rebuild ready for some racing with some local old school buddies which should be a great laugh

I'm after some 24" spoked wheels if anyone can help  ;)

I'll leave my 20" riding for the freestyle ... it's all I've ever done so racing 24's will be quite interesting  ;D

Thats a mint bike, good catch. :daumenhoch:

I need one of those to keep my Ripper and Quad company, so if you ever want to sell it.........

When did they start puting U breaks on SE cruisers? I had a Titan mtb in about 89 with a U on it and that was pretty inovative then.

I'm well chuffed Parcel Force showed up with the goods ... after a major balls up the depot Manager delivered it himself in his Jag  :shocked:

I plan to build the Floval as a Daddy to my Ripper ... I just need to find a set of decent OS spokes now
