That polished finish looks nice.  Very nice.

Cruisers are more stable and they jump further easier.

But they don't do all rhythm sections easier.  At Crewe a 20" is better because of how tight the rhythm is.

well done pickle!
Change the seat, get Del to do some of the older style FLoval decals and youre away!
By the way - that is the early 2003-2005 version that Jai STILL likes to race - it has the shorter rear end than the models after - so manuals MUCH easier!

That's the nicest colour Floval they've done in my opinion.

Was it new and if so where did you get it from?

it has now had the horrible decals taken off and now a nice ball burnished frame is looking at me  :smitten:

yes Si it was brand new!  but i can't say where i got it from other than Generallee gave me one of the best heads up on it i've ever had!  it was a complete bargain!

It does look good, and it isn't going to cost you a lot to 'put right' as it were  :daumenhoch:

I love all the jealousy  ;)  shows its a nice bike  :daumenhoch:

I do like the ball burnished SE's but its gotta have a right set of decals on it? did SE ever give the Floval Flyers the 'teardrop' decals from any era? as i think that is what you should go for Rob :daumenhoch:
