To me theres nothing better than an SE Bike and if I could have any it would be an STR-1 then a JU-6, but seeing as those will never be in my price range or even for sale come to think of it it leaves me with this. A round top Ripper, always wanted one and its the one frame set that really floats my boat. Just need to get all the era correct goodies for her now

Yes mate, but I'll have to ride it before the drinking starts Ash unless you bubble-wrap it as I have a habbit of falling off ;-)

As i understand it, This is called an STR-1 (Stu Thompsen Replica) when Stu Thompsen left SE in 81/82 they changed the looptail design and then called it a Quadangle therefore there was never a Looptail Quadangle.........................I think

hunterdubber · « **Reply #22 on:** May 25, 2011, 09:58 PM »

There was the STR-1 prototype ( only 3 made and is there 1 left in existense)that everyone was raving about on Ebay for $18,000 last year which looks the same as an STR-1 / Loopy Quadangle but the two downtubes ran under the bb shell

then they did a Mild steel STR-1H ( H for hi tensile steel ) same style as the looptail Quadangle while Stu still raced for SE and changed to cro mo sometime before 1980 STR-1C ( Cro mo )

They changed the name to Quadangle when Stu stopped racing for SE , his contract ended at the very end of '79

So Technically any pre 1980 Quadangle is an STR-1

but the frame stayed the same till they produced the reynolds Quadangle around 83

There you go Adam

Stu Thomsen raced for REDLINE from Jan 1st 1980 till dec 31 1983
