I quite like the look of that actually.

However with the churn out of old stuff revamped, one thing after another, in a very production line type manner my opinions are somewhat changed. Do they have any plans to get back in the game with some new stuff?

Just reading Ed's comments on the 24 and the marketing strategy i don't think skyway have sold out tbh, just targeted a specific market.
It seems they are aiming at the old skyway fans that still want to have a go so have adapted to newer race friendly geometry in order to appeal a bit more to them. I know the bikes don't compare with the serious race bikes of today but the guys in the US just turning out for the love that's been ground in from yesteryear, then i see the point.
How many guys that raced in the 80's are turning out in the US at the moment ?.... I think a lot more than in this country that's for sure.
In doing what they are doing i don't think they have sold out simply because the intention is there for the bikes to be raced on, even if it be just for fun and by the skyway fans of the 80's.
Personally I would have prefered them to have sold out and just gone down the retro repro avenue because i think the only market for them in the UK is the bmx pub crawl brigade that i am happy to be a part of.
Saying that the new 24's are a worthy pub steed too. :coolsmiley:

Not sure i said anything about selling out? I just find it a bit of a let down and boring to just re-hash a 30 year old bike, wheels and whatever else is in the cupboard. Get amongst it.... :4_17_5:

Let down how exactly ???
MaD-RoK:
As in I had expectations of some cutting edge shit like everyone else manages to do, like they used to do. Just my opinion of course dear chap. Now i'm off out for beers. :D
