I won this on the bay last weekend and just received it after many frustrating calls with our good friends at Parcel Force. At one point I was convinced it had gone missing in transit so you can imagine how pleased I was to see it arrive today

It's got some cracking parts including SE cruiser bars, 180 Sugino's, Comp III's, Tioga MX402 sealed headset, etc ... most of which I will keep though the SR stem will be replaced with a nice inverted DK I've got here. It's due for a total strip and rebuild ready for some racing with some local old school buddies which should be a great laugh

I'm after some 24" spoked wheels if anyone can help

I'm well chuffed ... what do you think

I'll leave my 20" riding for the freestyle ... it's all I've ever done so racing 24's will be quite interesting

Thats a mint bike, good catch.

I need one of those to keep my Ripper and Quad company, so if you ever want to sell it.........

When did they start puting U breaks on SE cruisers? I had a Titan mtb in about 89 with a U on it and that was pretty inovative then.

Steve P · « **Reply #14 on:** February 15, 2007, 06:40 PM »

I'm well chuffed Parcel Force showed up with the goods ... after a major balls up the depot Manager delivered it himself in his Jag

I plan to build the Floval as a Daddy to my Ripper ... I just need to find a set of decent OS spokes now
