Had a couple of SE flovals, 2007 and a 2009, loved building and owning both, just didn't enjoy riding them.

Seat too low for a pub cruiser, both were crap on the track, both looked ace!! both got sold.

Also had a Haro x24, early 2000's, £30 on ebay, powdered it, dressed it in nice tyres etc, heavier that the Flovals, but rode so much better.

Depends what you want, Old school cruisers are a bit more `upright' than more modern ones.

Would still have another Floval though, Love the SE thing.

Had a few 24"s all have seemed to small and look proper crap with the huge seat post, now rolling on a 26" and 29" and find them much nicer.

They got a high BB, had a WTP avenue, same problem high BB, Chumlee flipped over the bars on it at MK, man the ground shooook. Brake mounts look cack on the skyways but avocet are now dumping them on ebay at trade so might be worth looking at them in white and get the brake mounts removed

Love my 24" Skyway, rides beautifully. The quads flex in the bottom bracket quite a bit. Had a new Floval back in 2008. Nice and sturdy but not as nice as the Skyway IMO.

Nope. Get a 22" Faction Almero. Rides more like a 20" than all those mentioned so far :daumenhoch:

I love riding my Faction Zeightgiest but it's a bit low spec. The new Almero is the bollox - tests better than the S&M 22"  and the new wheels and kevlar tyres are awesome :shocked:
Still limping......
