Just got this: 1980 SE OM Flyer.
As many of you may know, Scot Breithaupt more or less started BMX in 1970 when he began promoting pedal cross races in Long Beach. He later started Scot Enterprises and this, the OM Flyer (Old Man Flyer), was his signature ride.
Chrome ones are real rare and are said to have only been made for the OM himself. It's possible he left it here on a trip to New Zealand in the early 1980s, but it's more likely it's just a rechrome. However, rechroming stuff in the '80s was real expensive, so the mystery remains. Don't ask about the serial number -- OM Flyer serial numbers are notoriously cryptic.
