I like the blue one a lot better than the woodgrain. Woodgrain is ugly to me. And I don't know about the front breaks either. Gotta take those off. And of course change out parts-AGAIN! But this team blue OM is the one to get!
radracingMT
Dudes! The team blue is epic!!!!!!

I'd love to see a real photo of the woodgrain....I bet the SE website or the catalog don't do it any justice and that it looks way more rad in person.
GR8BNDINI
Mmmmmm Baby Boy Blue, how stellar is that?!?! Hey is that stem some kind of brown color?
ozom
yeah stem, forks, hubs and brakes are brown
and front brakes are now gone.will post some better pics in the next couple of days

My SE dealer has them on order. He tends to wait until he has a bunch of bikes waiting before he tell's SE to ship them out so he can save on shipping.

So, no, I haven't picked mine up yet.

My next project will be the '09 24" Quad. I'm hoping to have it done before the Indiana gathering.
radracingMT
I wanted to do a 09 quad build. But its not in my budget sad.gif I would kill for just the frame

I just took this shot as I was inspecting one. I was stoked on the graphics. They look perfect!

Show me more woodgrain!!!!!!!!!!! Like I said before....I can bet the catalog pics don't do it ANY justice. It looks phat in that pic!!!
JMOORE
Wow! That almost gave me Wood! laugh.gif Lets see some more...
pwh4130
Here is the last one I'm showing. I took these to show TL how good the graphics looked on the bike. Oh, everything looked great on the whole bike. The one sample we had was bought by a guy who works at my LBS. He has it hanging in the shop and he said EVERYBODY asks about it.
Capt. Nemo
Freakin' awesome!

This might be SE's biggest head-turner yet!

Looking forward to seeing it in person.
GR8BNDINI
Dang Brett I was thinking the woodgrain was going to look like poo. But that looks freaking cool man. Where does a guy get his dirty paws on a pair of those sweet tires?
pwh4130
We have them available as aftermarket. Black in all sizes, blue in 26" and red in 20". Real skinwalls, not gum wall. YOur prayers have been answered.

Did SE switch from euro to American BB on the OM Flyer for '09?
dugga
Picked mine up today - very nice build quality and an aweswome bike to ride, I'm especially impressed with the 48 spline cranks which are a huge improvement compared to those pinch bolt cranks that have been offered previously and yes it's a US BB. I noticed on the SE website the parts list has a cassette hub - mine has a screw-on freewheel. Anyone else get theirs with a freewheel?
I'll post more pics when I've done some mods - planning on swapping out the bars for S&M cruiser race bars, a profile XXL stem and maybe the pedals....





COASTY
Nice ride Dugga, Where ya been man? Lookin good anyway.
Capt. Nemo
Another example of how much better the actual bike looks compared to the SE website photos. The blue/brown looks KILLER!

I just got an e-mail from my SE dealer. My woodgrain OM is in and ready for pick-up! Whoo-hoo!
Todd Lyons
Ah, thanks for pointing out the mistake on the SE site about the casette. Yes, it should be a freewheel listed. I have sent an e-mail to our website peeps to update it.

I got my woodgrain OM the day before I left to come over here to Asia. I took it out of the box to peep it, but haven't built it up yet. You can bet that it'll be the 1st thing on my list when I get home next week.

Oh, and you guys are gonna super trip out when you see some of the new bikes & color plans we've got in store for 2010.
COASTY
Sweet! I might have to update the 2007Quad. I'll wait and see whats comin' before I do.
mistasmith

Have been thinking about a woodgrain OM but that blue looks real sweet.

SE also listed cassette freeewheel for there 08 model too but it was a screw on freewheel. Beautiful ride thpugh! Love this colorway. Gotta take those front breaks off and it will be a lot sweeter. Switch to black tires too!
Len WEED
Man SE sure did an awesome job on the 09 OM good2.gif Can't wait to check the woodgrain out !
dugga
Made a few changes to mine now - bars are S&M race cruiser bars, ODI rogue grips, Profile XXL stem, Atomlab aircorp pedals and camo pads. I swapped out the seat for a brown SE sleek seat - might save the retro seat for another project.
Took some pics with the OM's little brother too:

Nice. I'd have to change the pedals too.
seracingman
Are the blue tires gum wall or skin wall ?
pwh4130
skin wall and aftermarket too!
Len WEED
Dugga, that OM looks perfect with your changes. Sweet ride man ! drinks.gif
Mayfield425
I'm slowly giving mine an old school flavor................brown suede seat, Knight(Profile replica) spider, anno chainring bolts, flipped stem, anno old school Victor (DX copy) pedals, SE cruiser bars, Ame's, etc....

I'll be switching more parts soon.


I've been a fan of the site for a long time but this is my first post. I hope the pic's attach!

Very nice. Although I'd be worried about suede for a seat. But it does look good.

Mayfield, looks good man! Info on that seat?
