Mines going to be my commuter bike, so im not bothered about it being perfect. Just hope it rides as well as the 20" :daumenhoch:

The one at the show might've been a prototype? That's why it was a bit out of line ???

It was on the Avocet stand who distribute in the U.K. I did ask them and even pointed out the wonky welding, they didn't say it wasn't a production bike. However I was really looking it over, i'm sure a lot of people wouldn't notice but I know Skyway were making a big song and dance about the build quality and I also know like the GHP debacle that peoples expectations of these projects can be very high!
Geometry looks good, it is a heavy old beast but built with some nice bits I reckon it will be a great shredder.

I certainly don't know who made the frame that Avocet had, but I can certainly say that every Skyway frameset that I've seen from our new production run has great welds with no misaligned stays! The frames are hand welded while clamped in a jig. The jig doesn't allow for chain stays to be misaligned.
Skyway had 800 framesets made on this production run. . 100 is going to a distributor in Australia, and about 650 are going to me at PlanetBMX in the US, with the remaining sets going to "family and friends", ex-factory riders, and warranty issues.
I received 180 sets already at PlanetBMX, with another 250 arriving tomorrow, with the balance arriving next week.
I've posted photos on our Facebook page- http://www.facebook.com/pages/Planet-BMX-ColoredTuffscom/125256600836815
Feel free to check out the photos of the production framesets to see for yourselves how good they look.
If you ordered a frameset from me, you will get you tracking info in the next few days. I estimate it will take me a good 10 days to get out all of the framesets, starting today.
Thanks!
