SE Racing OM Flyer 2nd Gen 1979 to about 1989. You can ID these by the lug behind the bottom bracket insted of both chain stays attaching to the BB shell. The early 78, ran Cycle Pro forks pre Landing Gear. Then the so called "cowboy cut" LG. Then non stamped Landing Gear with a solid but thin bologna cut dropout. As knock off's started appearing the teardrop began to be stamped SE vertically, but the required duplicate work on the machining and assembly line. In 1984 till stock of each size ran out they were phased over to horizontally, where the same teardrop stamped SE could be welded to each side. As told to me by Mike Devitt there were times the 20" three hole teardrops were used, just to get stock out the door, they were lucky to have paint. And a quote from the Landing Gear ad "Anything else is just a fork". These were it back then and now...

This is actually a Enduro version with the first Campagnolo braze on cable hangers, canti mounts and 135mm rear end. Super Light, prototype probably double butted tubing.
