Title: 1985 SE Quadangle
Post by: reilley1 on April 29, 2007, 08:28 PM: A friend of my brother's (Peter AKA Sidehackguy) was kind enough to pass this frame to him. He in turn, passed it on to me. It was built before but I wanted it my way..:) When I scored a set of wheels, I knew it was time

Things are well over here. getting ready for the annual sidehack race at the Roseville Nationals.

I have a few other 80s bikes (I think--I lost count) but this quad is a rider, feels just right and I will take it to the track on saturday.

The color is original. Apparently the owner saw my brother going through the Vintage and OS sites and asked him if he was interested in old BMX bikes. He had this frame just lying around his back yard.

My brother built it but took it apart and gave it to me for my birthday. Total investment on the whole bike: Less than $200

Post by: reilley1 on May 07, 2007, 09:43 PM: Not sure if I understand the question. It was a race bike 22 years ago and a bike is a bike I suppose

Post by: reilley1 on May 08, 2007, 09:43 PM: Hmm..well. SE did make a freestyle quad but this isn't one of them. The original similar looking quad pre-dated freestyle by quite a few years
