raw is nice with those decals too mint.whats the story behind this then

Gnarlyscoots:
Gorgeous is that Matt, best looking Skyway I have seen. Great score  :4_17_5:

Am I on the understanding that they bought all the old Skyway tubing and drops when BMX took a nose dive and then built these? That is a Street Beat top tube correct? Or did they just buy the frames and old tubing and then 'bastardise' them into something better looking?

Cheers

Terry

Deffo raw, Tis a thing of beauty

I believe a company (cant remember the name) bought  the last few bits of original skyway tubing and built this custom frame ,the top,bottom,head tube & gusset are all streetbeat, the back end is all TA tubing...all original 80s tubing
Heres the BB you can see its an original stamp

I think this is one of only 2 built by the company, I think the owner built himself one as he loved this so much.
Mine in production

Yes chris they are the forks that were with the frame originally, managed to do a deal inc the forks.
The forks are original skyway steerer tube, the rest is custom build.
