2002 Quad 24/26
2002The one that started it all — 24-inch rear, 26-inch front, looptail, built from Scot's own OM Flyer geometry. Two made.
This is where big bike racing restarted. Bill Ryan asked Scot Breithaupt if it would be OK to build himself a 24-inch rear, 26-inch front Quad like Scot once raced at Corona — Bottema-style forks, looptail. Scot said yes.
The Story
Bill had Scot's personal Reynolds-tubing OM Flyer at the time and duplicated its geometry to build the bike. Two were made. One went to Darren Chan — and when Darren posted it on BMX Museum, people went nuts. The whereabouts of the second frame are unknown.
The reaction to that post is what led Scot to give his blessing for more, and the 25-frame run of traditional 26-inch Quads followed the same year.
