what's the real riding difference between 20" and 24"? (humour me as I really don't know)
Ray.
-
i aint got a clue as i've not ridden a cruiser yet! :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
but i've been told they're much more stable ???
-
Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer then :LolLolLolLol:
Looks nice though :daumenhoch:
Ray.
-
cheers....i've had a swift butchers at it and i'm not a fan of the decals or the seat at the moment but hey it might grow on me........loving the polished finish though, when i bought it i thought it was all black! it was a nice surprise when i opened the box :daumenhoch:
-
ray when mines finished ya can have a go mate
the quads in bits so ya cant try that lol
oh and nice one pickles
-
That polished finish looks nice. Very nice.
Cruisers are more stable and they jump further easier.
But they don't do all rhythm sections easier. At Crewe a 20" is better because of how tight the rhythm is.
-
cheers guys........i'm sure a few things will be changed before MK :daumenhoch:
-
well done pickle!
Change the seat, get Del to do some of the older style FLoval decals and youre away!
By the way - that is the early 2003-2005 version that Jai STILL likes to race - it has the shorter rear end than the models after - so manuals MUCH easier!

:4_17_5: I love a good old Floval
-
That's the nicest colour Floval they've done in my opinion.
Was it new and if so where did you get it from?
-
Now I'm really mad !

-
it has now had the horrible decals taken off and now a nice ball burnished frame is looking at me :smitten:
yes Si it was brand new! but i can't say where i got it from other than Generallee gave me one of the best heads up on it i've ever had! it was a complete bargain!
-
It does look good, and it isn't going to cost you a lot to 'put right' as it were :daumenhoch:
I love all the jealousy ;) shows its a nice bike :daumenhoch:

I do like the ball burnished SE's but its gotta have a right set of decals on it? did SE ever give the Floval Flyers the 'teardrop' decals from any era? as i think that is what you should go for Rob :daumenhoch:
-
very nice rob, looks like the 2005 model as the same parts and look as the 20 i had, now go ride it too work and back :4_17_5: ive had 2 cruisers and both ride great, although found it different going from 24 back too 20 ,
paul
