SE Bikes has been busy over the last day or so dropping teaser/sneak peek photos of some of their upcoming 2015 lineup.
One bike, in particular, is creating a lot of buzz…the new 24″ Quadangle Freestyle.
Sporting classic Oakley B-1B grips, front brakes, detangler, 80s-style white tires…this bike will pull at the heart strings of any old school BMX fan.
Keeping the bike era-correct, SE dispenses with the standard Landing Gear forks and has opted for…wait for it… Standing Gear forks (with the built-in platforms).
And if you’re going to go to the trouble of putting on Standing Gear forks, you gotta go with the frame platforms too, right?
SE doesn’t disappoint.
Boom!
Here’s a close-up of the frame’s standing platforms.
You might recall that Rockabilly Jay whipped up a sweet custom SE Quadangle cruiser back in 2009. That was impressive.
But this takes the whole retro revival thing to a new level.
Granted, it looks like a top-tube platform was not included…which is a bit of a misstep…bikes of the era (that this bike is supposed to emulate) almost always had top tube platforms.
Other than that though, the attention to detail…Oakley B-1B grips, Standing Gear…you name it….Todd Lyons and the SE crew get full points for going the extra mile on this one…this is one cool bike.
