ive been offered one by a mate, its the red and gold 2009 job, its mint, never been ridden and has sat in his spare room since new, i thought it might be nice just to roll around on.
any thoughts please.

Nice......what does he want for it though?

sharp767 · « **Reply #2 on:** June 21, 2011, 09:07 PM »

£200 $:-\$

pickle · « **Reply #3 on:** June 21, 2011, 09:08 PM »

Fair price for a complete bike I guess

Some of us may be a little bias towards SE

But it is what it is.....ideal for a wobble around and a nice looking bike, its not high end bling bling but a nice bike for pub rides and a mess around on

yeah sounds perfect for the job and it does look nice, a bit too much gold for my liking but but nice.

Some can carry off to much gold......

Others cannot

Ive got a 2009 Quad and i love it, looks great and is pretty cheap too, seat is a bit low but if you're only going down the pub or the shops its a great bike.

As long as you are just rollin around and a pub/shop bike totally ok

but if you are are thinking of track park use , I'd recommend buying something else
as they are notorious for flexing and feeling flexy when ridden with a bit of gusto

sharp767 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 21, 2011, 11:49 PM »

well ive bought it and must admit i like it the more i look at it, there are a couple of things i think i'll change but it is kinda cool.
and yep its just a "im popping out for a pint of milk see you in two hours" bike.

pickle · « **Reply #13 on:** June 22, 2011, 11:57 AM »

let me know if you're changing the gold wheels

I've ridden mine at the track a few times now and I have no probs with it flexing, i thought it was pretty quick and handled as well as my normal track bike.

I bought mine for £299 new, so I think £200 for a mint one is a good deal.
Does your mate want to sell me a 2011 OM Flyer for £200??

Munnyella · « **Reply #16 on:** June 24, 2011, 08:31 AM »

Is it this one?

obviously, i've changed a few bits on mine, wheels, tyres, pedals, bars, stem, seat, post, spider and chainring.

I'm gonna get in re powdered when i've fallen off it and scratched it a bit, which should be soon, as the sun is coming and the pubs are open!!

I'm not over keen on the colour ways, but it has grown on me. The gold is very gold!. I'm going all white/black bits for a more old school look.

Â£200 is a good score, I paid CRC Â£287 in the box for mine.

yep thats the one, i was thinking about tuffs as well but ive changed some of the other gold parts for chrome/black but kept the gold wheels and it looks ten times better already, i think i'll keep the wheels for now, its a nice ride and these new school brakes are super sharp, i like it.

hunterdubber · « **Reply #18 on:** June 24, 2011, 09:13 PM »

Looks like you got a bargain John

sam hudson · « **Reply #19 on:** June 28, 2011, 05:06 PM »

I had a quick look but it seems like they have all sold out and only Alans has one (for the £400 that you dont want to pay!). You could try to make him an offer

sam hudson · « **Reply #20 on:** June 29, 2011, 03:44 PM »

2010 version in white from USA for £274 (obviously plus postage). I have never seen one of these advertised in the UK oddly enough...maybe its the green.
They do ship worldwide but I guess it will cost a bit:

neil · « **Reply #21 on:** June 29, 2011, 04:21 PM »

shipping on it is £90

sam hudson · « **Reply #22 on:** June 29, 2011, 08:05 PM »

They are very rare in that colour. The white is not flat, its a pearlescence (well sparkly anyway)

My mates sons Ripper has the same paint and it is really nice.
