my thoughts too .. not sure who the seller is , but its the same guy who had/sold the so called H inverted stem .. and i noted he got a neg feedback on that sale .. brings us back to the Q is it a real one ?? why say in the auction that its a genuine one check measurements ect ect ??

Are OM Flyers made out of Alloy like the rest of the SE range

That looks like its made of steel judging by the welds $:-\$
I have no idea what i'm looking for though

Jonny Chopper made 26" landing gear plus he also offered the service of unstamped unidentifiable frames, forks and bars.

My bid was blown out of the water by such a margin that I'm too embarrassed to let on what it was now. I thought it looked great, but had a nagging feeling that something was a bit iffy too...I'm guessing someone on here nailed it?

richboy · « **Reply #22 on:** April 06, 2010, 07:53 PM »

my mate won it, $:-\$

Wow!!! big bucks

Here it is in the museum (with the snide hutch stem, looks like the seller got caught out with it to me)

http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/se_racing/11965

Could be rare this fella describes it as

1981 SE Racing OM Flyer

"Rare Reynolds 531 model with mitered and holed joints"

Would love a set of them.
