NathanRelton:
Just received my latest ebay purchase which has not only delighted me but thrown me back in to old school bmx.

Depression, recession, divorce all took its toll and resulted in me selling my beloved Skyway TA back in 2007. The same period i swapped a gen 1 haro frame and forks for a re issue pk ripper. Thats where my head was at!!!!!!

Anyway i'm back and have a great little project which arrived today.

1983 KZ-1 (didnt know there was such a thing)
Non knurled 28 x 8 GT Santa Ana Bars (not a scratch on them) stickers a little marked
Blue Suntour Power Stem
Tange 320 headset
Chrome Dia compe mx1000's front and rear, DC tech 3 levers
Araya 7x chrome rims laced to red suzei sealed bearing hubs
Tioga Task Force Cranks
ACS seat post clamp
Orrible Skyway Loveseat

The guy who sold it told me said it was hung up in the shed when he bought his house. He contacted the previous owner who said keep it for his kids. They have ridden it for the last year but didnt like it because it was old fashioned!!!

Frame and forks are in fantastic condition, stickers peeling a bit but no rust, cracks or bends.


ps need a new saddle, any suggestions?
