Scot Breithaupt flying OM Flyer

BMXultra.com: OM Flyer Scot: When I created the Cruiser Class in 1978 and convinced the NBA, ABA, NBL, and NPSA to run us as a new class, we all rode Schwinn cruiser frames with trick parts and I got alloy rims from a Trotter Horse Buggy maker. They were imported from England. Since we were so backordered in our alloy line, I decided to go with Chromoly so we could get contractors to make them. The orginal was an alloy version. I raced it and won a title or two with it plus set the distance jumping record with it, so I blended OM, my nickname and Flyer... The OM Flyer.... For several years, it was the hottest cruiser around... Then the 24''s came along.
