Full Version: 2007 retro looptail Quad-completes
Is it just me or is that a LOOOOONG track?
I was thinking the same thing! I was never good at those long tracks. I like the old school tracks that had a little down hill slope to them.
Hey dugga, that's an awesome build. I was in Melbourne (again) last week but did not call you. Sorri, bro.
Hey Greg, you looks bloated...hehehehe. I still have your last few years pix in SE gears too. U're damn true SE maniac. Hailz
just want to throw this out there. i dont think i am going to build mine anymore so if anyone is interested please send me a pm
BridgeCityBikes - you need to go to a race in Des Moines with me. I went to several last year, nice track actually.
Heres mine just put most of my jump bike stuff on it. Couldn't wait to ride it. It does big skids.
Does it do Pop A Wheelies, too? Looks tough.
By the evident size of the rear end on that thing, no, it does not do pop a wheelies.
Gorgeous, though.

Rearend is 14.5".
I raced mine on Sunday and felt pretty concidering I didn't have my clips on it.

Who is "Old School"???
He's got his complete on SE's website right now. Anyone know who it is? He's from Florida.

.......and could this be the mystery #1 frame. oh the drama!
I usually race a Standard. That is the same chain length not much difference. It gets a work out today.
I believe #1 went to TL. At least that's what the bike shop guy told me. And you wonder how rumors get started.
#1 is in Riverside County. I don't have one. Yet....
Keep it Warm,
"Old School" is Louie Brown, I believe from the Daytona, FL area. He is definitely an SE NUT! He's been collecting SE stuff since the 90's. I'm pretty sure he dosen't have a computer, so you wouldn't see him on here. Here's a pic of him and Tom Ritz at the Orlando track.

Geez, you'd think those two dudes were freezing their tails off in Florida! Louie has a winter hat on and the other guy is pit-warmin' his metacarples! LOL
Thanks Greg
Thanks Greg
Keep it Warm,
At the recent High Springs Qualifier the temp when my daughter and I went to the track at 6 am was a brisk 21 degrees!!! For a guy who has lived in South Florida his whole life it was freezing!! It was pretty cold here in Miami last weekend; 50, but it's back to the normal 80's now.

I thought I would post some pics with New school graphites.
I didn't realize how much the difference skin walls make?

Mattblack-
Very nice!
I'm gonna go the Tuff/Graphs route myself; I dig the skins., but I really dig the blackwalls - reminds me of the Carlisle Aggressor days!
Seriously nice build, muted tones, etc. Tasteful

i agree, those tuffs look real sweet on the longer frame
That looks great! I'm going that same route. My will have a very retro look all around. I'm diggin it.
Matt are those the new school graphites with those cool cap things over the hubs or is Skyway making graphites like BITD ?
Nice...
I'm still waiting...
I'm still waiting...
The Graphites on Matt's Quad are 200? model sealed bearing units , with the flanges Ted made , after a bit of poking , prodding & colaboration from Matt & I.
Skyway don't & probably wont ever make flanged Tuff's ever again , despite it being a classic easily recognised & distinguished look that made them a lot of money in the early 1980's....
The original 1980's set of graphites we have don't see very much track time & _no_ big air time , to expensive to land badly on them now , hence the need for the old skool look on new skool tuffs , best of both worlds @ a reasonable price.
I'll meet you halfway Tummler415.
A Blackwall on the front in honour of the almighty 2.125 Carlisle Aggressor & a black rubber skinwall 1.75 Comp 3 or Stadium (style) tire on the back. A Stadium tires (on the rear) stuck like glue on anything but a _bone dry_ dirt track here.

NICE!! Great color choices! I likee!
Cool stuff
very very hot looking. personally, i would only change swap out the burly looking street bmx seatpost with something with more racer style.
killer color choices. the gold tuff flanges are a sweet touch. oh, your tires are on backwards...they roll nicer and last longer on the right way.

Absolutely perfect! Amazing that the grips and seat match the gold parts so well.
Total pimp ride, that thing is awesome!

Good job!
Thanks Capt.
really nice blue and yellow color balance : )
I am still going to change the crank and pedals but for now, at least I can ride it. Thanks to a member here I was able to add the Skyways.
