Trickmaster??  Or freestyle quad fred blood tribute or something.

This would be a first for any company to come out with a retro that a former Ryder had it would be amazing, but I would raise the bar........Mike Buff edition Taco Bell PK Ripper

Try and make more separate framesets available.  It is still tough to cough up 6-7 large all at once vs. doing a build up.

24" Floval Looptail - in Black and Gold. Please Todd. Thank you very much.

No calipers, no SE drop cutouts, nix the wishbone on the PK, loop everything as appropriate. Totally personal choice, but avoid white and/or red. I hate all of that on the '13s personally and wouldn't buy one for that reason.

That said, at this time I would only be interested in a 24" loop Quad. Guess I'll have to look for a used older one. The Floval is such a boring looking bike, I'm surprised they're so popular.

I like the SE's in general though. I miss my OM Flyer.

no se cutout in the drops would be great. Please add some kind of 24 or 26 freestyle

Thanks a TON for all of the feedback & suggestions. I have read them all & you can see my comments below based on your posts:

-We tried to do a chrome 24in  Quadangle a few years back. But with all of the intricate/hidden areas, it was impossible to get a good chrome job. So we had to scrap the idea.

-Chrome bikes in general are HUGE pain. The chroming process is very bad very for the environment & there are many regulations to make the process safer, but in turn makes for a sub-par chrome job. Especially in Asia. Chrome parts do not have as much as an issue as chrome frames. Nonetheless, do not hold your breath for any chrome bikes for the 2014 line of bikes.

-Maybe we’ll do one of our alloy bikes in a high polish instead of ball burnished. What ya think?

-I like the idea of the Trickmaster. Not sure about adding it to the 2014 line, but the wheels are turning for 2015…

-I also like the idea of a 24in  or 26in  Freestyle Quad. But this too may have to wait.

-If you guys aren’t diggin’ the SE cut-outs in the dropouts, we’ll get rid of ‘em! Please chime in.

-This one’s for Ministock101: There will be no TL-88 in the 2014 line-up. I’m engaged now. LOL

So…

Without any further ado, these are the bikes I am thinking of for the 2014 SE Retro line-up:

20in  Quad Loop (I think it’s about time for its return)
24in  Floval Flyer (I think that this bike will be a homerun for us & I’d like to continue with it)
26in  PK Ripper Loop (I am feeling this one!)
29in  Big Ripper (this bike will remain a staple in the line)

What ya think!?

Todd, Thanks for the reply regarding the SE cutouts but why no comments on the PK wishbone versus old school seatmast design?. This has been brought up in my SE threads and it seems as though you guys are deliberately staying mum on it.  Can we get an answer on it? I know it seems like a small deal but a few people in this thread have addressed it. The whole reason why we choose to buy these bikes is because of the connection to the past bikes.

See post #76 on this thread and post #248 on this one...

Pretty straight forward to me.

But in case there is any doubt, Todd has told me straight out that it is something he wants to make happen on future Loop PK's.

Hang in there bud.

In my opinion, it's these small things that keep the SE retro line interesting from year to year.

Todd has told me that in all the years that SE has put out these retroes, no one has ever told him in person that particular seat stay junction was something fans wanted to see. And I don't recall reading any posts about it, either. He put it on the Floval, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

I can't believe Todd wouldn't put in on PK, now.

Hey Todd I have request about the pads. Can you guys please make some bar pads that actually fit a some handlebars. The two sets I do have, the bar pads just spin and flop all over the handlebars, the pad is not wide enough and it is too large diameter for the bars.

2014 Retro PK looptail with an old style seatstay/seatmast junction. 

how about a 16"quad, that should be easy.

the Om Flyer should have a steeper seat tube angle.

26" "PK"

26 Quad "Chrome frameset only"

OM Flyer Complete and Frame set.

29 Quad Chrome Complete

Polished Floval.

Pretty please...

26" PK Ripper Loop.  Unstamped dropouts.  High polish w/bad boy blue sticker kit.
