Ebay is always a good place to find kooks selling old junk for astronomical sums of money. This guy is no different: http://cgi.ebay.com/NOS-Old-School-BMX-Nomura-26-24-HYBRID-cruiser-COMPLETE_W0QQitemZ280137884147QQihZ018QQcategoryZ64644QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I've never heard of Nomura and my hometown bike shop had a vintage section. Looks to me like an old SE Floval Flyer with fake sticker, but hey I could be wrong. Doubt it.
I love this description:
Near mint condition, NOS Nomura HYBRID cruiser. Super rare. 26" front, 24" rear hybrid cruiser. If anyone can tell me what kind of handlebars these are, what type of seat post clamp that is, or what kind of headset that is, I'd appreciate it.
This is it. The legendary 26/24 in near mint condition. Some of the aluminum on the frame shows signs of shelf wear (see pics).
