2008 may have one other looptail? Do them all as looptails, and stand out from all of the other bikes.

Just got my Tuff wheels put on the new Floval I think it looks pretty cool! Ready to go try it out on the track

That is sweet! Mine should be here Monday, I've got a few things too change out on it!
Do the tuffs flex at all?

Looks awesome Randy! I wish I could even think about riding mine. it's -1 here with a -25 wind chill.....The weather went in the crapper the day after I brought mine home.

I have been so busy that I havn`t ridden it on the track Mike but I will let you know about the stiffness. I havnt ridden Tuffs too much at all and am looking forward to it. They seem as light as alloys just riding on the street though. Post some pics when you guys get a chance would like to see what you change out.

anybody know the top tube length? the frame looks kinda low profile. How would the Floval compare to the Redline proline cruiser for a 6'4" person? I love the Floval's looks and the baby blue color, but I'm kinda wondering if it's big enough my lanky self.

I noticed the MSRP went up to $450.00!

Hi everyone,

Thought I'd post a pic of my Floval that I've been working on for a little while.

Changed out the bottom bracket, cranks, chainwheel, chain, pedals, stem, grips, barends and brake levers so far.

Hope you like it.

I paid $400 ( MSRP ) for my '03 Floval when it was new. The '07, for 50 bucks more, is WELL worth it.

I would be picking mine up today, but I'm in the same boat as Tony S. -35 windchill doesn't give me any incentive to leave the house unless I have to. I should have mine by the weekend, though, and hitting the indoor track with the kids on sunday.

Can't wait!

I still got it for the $400.00 which is a really great price for all that you get with it. I hope it's here today, been a long weekend awaiting it. I have some parts just waiting for it.
Rad indoors this weekend in SLC so I can give you all a report on how it handles.

3 cheers for S&M bars! those things feel sooo good on a cruiser.

Here's my beef with the new Floval: 21" top tube is just too small for a cruiser. I like them comparitively short, at 21.5"--I had a Specialized hemi 24 that had a 22.5 TT, it was like you had to dial ahead to raise the front end. But 21 feels cramped on a cruiser. I would've bought one instead of my Staats if they had a 21.5 model. If they're only going to make one frame size, I think a 21.5 TT will please more of the people more often than a 21.

Hey tread, why buy the complete? Shoulda just picked up the frame and fork if you were gonna swap out all the parts.

I found a frame fork on Ebay but it was $280.00. Complete was $400.00 and i now have spare parts for another build.

I raced it at Rad Canyon indoors tonight. Rides very well, lot's of compliments on it as well. I will post a pic in the morning.
