I really don't have anyone who can appreciate these bikes so I hope you do. They have been works in progress for a long time and are finally presentable

Here is my first cruiser. It is an 1984 PL24. I was never into redlines but couldn't pass up this f/f. I just stickered it yesterday and couldn't cover up all that shiney chrome again with the original stickers so I went with the DD Leone look and put carrera stickers on the frame. The fork sticker were original and mint so they stayed.



This is really a fun bike to ride and would like to see more of these restored. The downtube is huge.

These bars came with the f/f. Please let me know if you can id these. I am thinking elf or profile 28"wide 4" rise.



Next is my Quad FS. Not sure of the year since the serial number has been made unreadable. But the unique thing about this Quad FS is that it has no coaster brake bracket and the brake bridge is a tube. Picked this one up here on the boards from someone very quad knowlegeable and was assured it's authenticity. Yell if you think otherwise





Last is my skyway T/A. I will be letting this one go soon. Email me if interested.

very nice indeed, I just built a PL-24 myself and I also have a PL-20. The bars do look like Profile to me as well.

Thanks guys. It took a long time to get the quad finished. I still need to upgrade the wheels bars and pedals on the PL24.

I too am an SE freak so after losing out on so many looptail flovals, I had to find another cruiser to build. I started combing through all my old BMXA for a cool 24" and came across the "first look" and unofficial test ride of the PL24. After reading all the praise it received along with the kool dropouts and oversized tubing, I wondered why more old schoolers weren't into this bike. I like it so much I may try to build another....unless I find a floval.

Anyway, here is the skinny on the parts, most is NOS.

The quad is finished. I started to restore the PK that I raced back in the day as my first build, before any of these bikes, and it is still not done. I am sure that happens to alot of you guys.

Thanks again for kind words. All I get are head nods from the wife.

Delran Bro. I have an 84 PK that hasn't seen the light of day in years. This could be good reason to finish it off. How many old schoolers are in the area?
OLDSKOOLPK
