1980 SE Racing OM Flyer 26
Reynolds tubing, my tribute to "OM"
Got this 8mths ago from very good friend [W2 in 45CR] who had nice collection and needed cash so am blessed to get it in original condition [frame/fork/bars/wheels/] see first pix for how i received it without BB and headset [cranks from 82 PK] then Scott OM passed so decided to celebrate his BMX life - after all this bike was named after him, was my entry into 2016 calendar but wrong parts arrived [my fault] so missed deadline

The Reynolds piercing BB and also TT but couldnt get enough lighting for decent shot into headtube, back from the chromers
Frame and fork - 2.4kgs - not bad for 1980 26er
Love how the frame stands by itself without any help for a 26er 
Apologies to the purists for new school tyres but i built this to ride parks and old school races smoothly and 2.3 wide gives comfort
