  • I know, it's another tedious thread about an OTP bike. However, now that I'm abandoning my self-build and looking for and OTP, I'm looking to see if anyone can give me a brief review of the enticingly cheap SE bikes as listed in GA2G's lovely list of OTPs.

    Does it ride OK, does anyone know any stockists, etc?

  • theres a few links on google ifyou google for them
    and ive heard nothing but good things for what the price is
    i like the look of the new model
    and prefer the drops etc
    havent rode one though but havent heard any complaints

  • Be warned American b.b shell and one piece crank from what I have seen.

    Although you can get converter from BMX shops.

  • i love the om flyer 26" cruiser

  • and I'd still love an 80's PK Ripper. But a 40 year old riding a BMX just can't be done...

  • SE racing is just a fuji with a few changes and a se racing decal.
    se racing was brought by advanced sports inc (basically Fuji bikes) in 02.
    the u.s based se-racing stopped making bikes in 1999.

    tell that to Adrian Warden et all

    Give me 2 1/2 years, I'll get back to you, and prove you wrong. Kids these days...pfft!
    ;)

  • Okay, you can get away with it if you are very, very good. If average or below then a bit harder to pull it off!

    Starting to think about the lovely Drive I had last year, all up weight of 22lbs. Where can I buy another one now...

  • they look nice..

    but you're too old for one of those, really

  • I want one of these to go racing on

  • am i missing something? why is the freestyler £70 more than the plug?

    i thought the components were the same apart from the coloured rims and the bars

    Me too, one with flight cranks and Skyway graphites with the gold campag hubs.

    I think SE Racing could do something pretty special to the fixed market.

  • I think SE Racing could do something pretty special to the fixed market.

    a shrewd move by fuji. buy an ailing brand that has some streetcred but low sales and stick the name on your fixed gear bikes to create a whole new market.

  • I want one of these to go racing on

    yeah! standard are lovely bmx frames

  • the "new" ie: branded SE bmxs are shiteola.

    not a patch on the real ones, they had a frame busting scandal too which makes people trust them even less

  • The floval flyer was the nearest thing to a ripper for grown ups.

    I know this isn't the real thing, but it got me excited when I first glimpsed it. I'd 100% buy a Ripper Fixed gear if they ever did it properly. We should get together and get them to make a limited edition SE Ripper Full size frame.... like people do with those limited edition runs of Cinellis. That'd be awesome!

  • are they vintage phil hubs and vintage profile cranks on the floval?

    i do like the landing gear forks!

  • i know the cranks are vintage redline flight cranks

  • They're not even vintage flight cranks - they're the current twin pinch bolt ones. Not sure what hubs, I thought Bullseye but they mount using allen bolts.

  • yeah not vintage profile

  • i do like the landing gear forks!

    again, the new ones are shit. heavy and crap

    for the last time: the stuff for sale now, branded SE racing has nothing to do with the original company. and it is not very good stuff.

  • Just had an email back from the brand manager at "SE Racing".... I asked whether they'd ever consider producing a proper ripper fixed gear frame, even on special order and he said "Keep your fingers crossed ‘till early summer…"

    Lets hope they don't fuck it up. This could be brilliant.
