Really want one of these and see on the site a few more are available.

Anyone on here ordered one?

And when will they arrive as it says June?

Not that bothered if it comes late as at the moment could prob only afford the deposit :daumenhoch:

I've ordered one. 8) i want some of the skyway/bullseye pedals but they're  out of stock at the mo. Knowing Ed i reckon mine will be ready end of next month. I've still to pay the balance anyway yet. gonna be nice to cruise on a 24" skyway its just a shame about the canti mounts on the rear.

There seem to be loads of 'prototypes', different prototype every week, but haven't seen a real one. ;)

New school bike, new school brakes.
To go with the  BB, headset & seatpost as diggler points out.

I've got one on order too  :daumenhoch:

Not in a rush to get one as, well my build rate is not the fastest  :'(

But its a new school bike and therefore new school parts  :daumenhoch:

Would'nt put old school parts on a new school race bike  :crazy2:
I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)

I backed out for several reasons:  There  is no serieus  racing tested on it, i lost my job at that time, and the bad communication with planet bmx

decided  that i am gonna order  the new kuwahara lachesis cruiser,  The french elite woman  corguile  even won a supercross round with it  , so quality enough i would say

I'm also yet to be convinced - it looks like not a repop old bike and not a proper New Skool bike either... a lot of money for a white elephant.

I wouldn't worry about the shipping costs or the import tax as they are bound to have increased by the time comes they decide to send , I've one on order as well , think i need my head examining as im gonna be far too old to ride a bike when it does turn up
