1996 SE Racing Floval Flyer 24
Ride #6, Electric Blue - finally a cruiser for dad
So after building a few bikes for the kids, I realized our old 20" bikes are a little on the small side for me, and I wanted a decent cruiser. Finally, this frame and fork popped up locally, and I jumped on it. It's either a '95 or '96 US made Floval Flyer, and what is pretty unique is that it is anodized blue (vs. powder coated). It's really luminescent, and rides great! Specs ("CP" = (Current Production)).
2016 Rebuild:
~'96 SE Floval Flyer F/F, (Landing Gear threadless forks), frame is anodized blue
-CP A'me Tri grips
-2015 Gary Turner Tall Cruiser bars
-CP ESP "13" stem
~2009 unidentified headset
~'96 Sun Rhyno Lite Rims, DT Swiss spokes, ~'96 Suzue Sealed Hubs
-CP DURO Comp III style tires, 1.75"
~'96 Shimano SF MX30 chrome freewheel (17 tooth)
-CP Izumi 3/32" chrome chain
-CP Redline Flight cranks (180 mm), CP Porkchop retro spider, CP Porkchop chainwheel (39 tooth)
~'83 Suntour XCII braced pedals, with homemade cages
~'89 Kashimax TM-1 seat
~'96 'Dia Compe 747 V brakes + ~'96 Shimano V Brake Lever
