2013 Floval Flyer Looptail.

Hey guys,

Thought you might like to see these, It'll be available around November/December time. I've seen the bike in the flesh and it looks pretty awesome. Check out the Skyway Hubs...

Needs a head tube gusset as they tend to snap there  :'( unless its just a "pub bike" and not for racing ?

Drop the Skyways and put a set of spokes on

Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove the colour  :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

But its an SE so if it was made of pig iron and painted Wiko's semi gloss I'd still love it  :daumenhoch:
I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)

They'll be a regular Floval in the range aswell, which will feature spoked wheels and everything to make it race ready. This bike sits in the "retro" range.

If the headtube falls off the 'regular' Floval in normal race conditions (as some have done), will SE stand behind the product?
I am an SE user BTW in case anyone thinks I'm just a hater.

No Looptail, The frame will be the same as this year. Which has a gusset under the headtube.

SE will always stand by genuine warranty claims against manufacturing defects(defects in material and workmanship). We've dealt with SE for a few years now and in all honesty there have been very few genuine warranty claims on any of their products. 

After reading a few things on bmx talk etc. I actually brought this up with Todd Lyons when he was over in the UK last week and he pretty much reiterated the same.  Every claim is always dealt with on a case by case basis, taking into account the individual circumstances.

I have seen that video.

But without knowing the full circumstances and seeing the frame first hand it would be impossible to say.

To be fair I'm surprised TJ didn’t snap a frame a race...he's not called Bomber for nothing

I really like it apart from the Vee brakes which aren't very retro. Nice little touch with the anno on the tuff hubs.  :daumenhoch:

The idea with the SE "retro" bikes is that the look like the old school bikes but are reliable and rideable. So things like threadless headsets , v-brakes, full length top tube's etc. are all used.

  :( About time that SE dropped the living off past glories thing and started afresh.Quads,Flovals etc have been bled dry.The forthcoming PK raceframe looks good but time for a namechange.
