I just checked out the new SE site, I am floored. Those have to be the coolest bikes in a very long time. I can stare at every single bike and frame. The last new bike I bought was my Standard in 1999. I am sure the average age of all my bikes combined is 30 years old, but I may have to buy a new bike in the comming year. The question is which one. I know this is some what off forum, but I only hang here and anything topic titled SE Bikes should stay in this section. Anyone own a new SE yet?

I have to agree ,i have my eye on a 24' quad cruiser myself.
SE has thierr stuff together for sure .This shouldnt be a bash fest there was another post and i think it was panned out on there .
That white /red rerto ripper is HOT too.

Yep their stuff is looking good, the website is neat also.
Anyone notice the 'bottle opener' under the seat on the 24 quad- that's gotta be in mind for us retro guys!
Do they make a tow along esky???

Don't give Todd any ideas. Knowing him, he'll do it. Actually, it's a great idea.

By the way, I am looking really hard at that Team ripper xxl frame and fork. Too bad no black. All my stuff has to be black.

I agree the new site is too sweet. All the new produvts this year, and that Ripper XXL, SHUT UP!!!!!!! That thing just oozes radness. And how many new bikes are out this year as opposed to last? Thats just silly man, is there any other manufactuer out there with a lineup that deep? Id have to agree, props to SE, its looking like T.L. is taking the name back to where it started from, at least IMHO.

I race an all black new floval. It's a great bike and the best deal on a race ready 24 on the market in my opinion. Besides like most everyone i knew, i always wanted a p.k. ripper when i was a kid so what more could i ask for.

Im thinking that my Xmas present to myself will be the 24" QUAD. But I wouldnt mind having the 24" FLOVAL FLYER. I do agree, I was floored when I went to the website. Im hoping to get my hands on the new 24" SKYWAY, but if that doesnt happen, Im going to resort to, or buy as well, either the QUAD, the FLOVAL FLYER or possibly BOTH Frame and Fork sets and just Swithch components from time to time on the bikes as I piece them all together. Im thinking, NEW REDLINE FLIGHT CRANKS, and SKYWAY TUFFS in white or Black or both!!! What better way to blow $3,000 than to build 3 AWESOME bikes!!!! ?????

I've met Todd, purely by accident, and he was the nicest, down to Earth, humble guy you could ever meet. He hung out with my twin brother and I at Starbucks in Huntington Beach for at least an hour.
Also one of the world's most preeminent BMX frame designers of our day.
Todd, you can send the check to:.............................

I'm in agreement with all of the above. Personal favourite is the Woodgrain OM as it's just so rad

My '07 Floval isn't really a retro, but it is getting raced alot. And, I am parking the 20" for next year, so the floval becomes my only race bike.

Glad to hear you guys like the bikes. The retro bikes are being raced, ridden and even hitting skateparks. We haven't gotten any warranty issues so they are holding up out there. I just bought my best friend a PK loop for his dirt jumping bike.
