Hey Guys,
Here are my two bikes... I'm going to wait for next years SE lineup for the next one."fingers crossed for 29" quad" smile.gif

1. The Big Ripper is just adding a little color taking off the "big", just making it a "ripper" and bigger bars and gear. "I know some will not approve of big bars on the already big bike... but I love it for cruising and jumping curbs"

2. My Firemans Texas Cruzer... Tried to make it look as old school as I could.

3. My first BMX bike 1980... this is how the other 2 bikes make me feel again.

4. Riding the big ripper around town... 29 years later still get same joy from it. and I think the proportion of rider size to bike size is still the same... thanks SE!

Sweet "big" bikes! My 29" Firemans is a gas, but the FTC 26er is probably my favorite.

Thanks for looking... Does anyone reading these boards have any "inside" info or pics of what SE is going to offer next year in the big retro department? Or what bike would you like to see done in a 26 or 29 version?

First let me say, great lookin' bikes.

Did anyone else see this pic TL posted on his site?



That sure as heck don't look like a 20" or 24" Quad, does it?

Very nice. I plan on having my frame polished once I get enough scratches on it. Where did you pick up the frame decals?

That is so cool, what a great job! Im wondering about the decals too.

Thanks, I had the decals done by the same guy that did the anodizing, he's here in Los Angeles.
the stickers are much better quality than the ones that come on the big ripper, those are really thick and just felt cheap. I went with the white outline to copy how redline does their stickers.

here is his webpage... it's kind of a mess... but he does nice work.
I'd like to find the print place he's having them done... I'm sure you could just send them electronic files and they would print them, knock out the middle man.
