I love them, but that is because I have one (well an '07). They are completely different to the o/s ones, modern geometry, longer top tube etc.

Here is mine.

That looks great Sean....I would also prefer them without the lugs tho - but thats personal choice.

I think they look dope much better than the new P.K!!(not the reissue b.t.w!!)
However unless i'm mistaken they have FIVE angles not four an therefore should they really be called a Quad??
Nice ride tho!!
Loooks SWEEEEEEEEEEEETT!!

The retro Quads are beauties!
I have 2 of them- an 07, and a 08 hanging up on my wall here on the shop, which is just as good as hanging a painting up in my opinion. They are works of art!
I won frame #3 for the 07 model at the Rockford banquet last June, only to drop it as I was walking up the stairs at the banquet hall as we were leaving, so it has a nice scratch on one side of it! I might as well build it up and have fun with it one of these days!

Not really much point in doing that dude as V-brakes work better than OS brakes, and the bike wouldn't be OS race legal anyway as its still got the clamp on stem and is a retro/re-issue rather than 1"/shafted old/mid school. Best bet is to keep it as a new school retro rider and get yourself an OS race legal old/mid school bike for doing OS races on.
