The picture on the right is a 'Photoshopped' pic I did before ordering the new 2008 'Floval Flyer', I wanted an 'Everyday BMX Rider' that was 24" or 'Cruiser' sized (I'm a big guy) So, I thought the 'Floval Flyer' was a good choice although, I didn't like the look of the 24" Alex rims that were standard so.... here is the BEFORE vs AFTER shots. The After shot looks like 'Chip Foose' & the 'American Chopper' boys have messed around with it.

The 24" Tuff Wheels are 'Genuine' SKYWAY Wheels and cost around $220 AUD although the chain and sprocket had to be changed. The Bike has 'Chain Tensioners' built into the frame. They also come with SE Racing Padset and Race Plate although I have bought the Black/Gold PK Ripper padset for it, These are readily available from Darren at Warzone Bikes (Link Below). I have also just re-Badged the bike with 'PK RIPPER' Stickers which I made myself.
See pics of the actual bike below.

Purchased from Darren at 'Warzone Bikes', Sutherland in Sydney, AUSTRALIA, Thanks Dude !

My 'Daily Mtn Bike' is a 2007 Trek Fuel EX-6, this is a Cross Country Mountain Bike and is sensational, it replaced my2001 Canondale Jekyll F700 (which I never really liked)
and is a huge improvement especially on fast corners and downhill.

I have replaced the seat post a 'Bontrager' with an Easton C70 which is Carbon and much lighter but, the main reason was the Easton post has a 30mm setback. I have also upgraded the tyres from the standard Bontrager's to a Continental Explorer on the front and a Maxxis 'High Roller' 2.35 DownhillTyre on the rear for the heavy duty trails. I initially had a Continental Explorer on the rear and it was shredded after the first ride, its heavier having the Downhill tyre on the rear but damn its ballsy.
