Dirt Bros Skyway Ta

(1/7) > >>

FuNMoNsTeR:
I would like some opinions on this frame please. I know Dirt Bros bought up Skyway frame and fork sets in the early 90s and rebadged them... The frame number is T4A2327.

Well it differs slightly from a normal T/A, the rear dropouts are missing the cutout, and the brake bridge is straight instead of curved, which is the sign of an early T/A . The serial number on a Skyway T/A doesn`t have any letters in it either, apart from that it looks fine  :daumenhoch:

CD17:
I think those little holes in the chainstays are closer to the dropouts as well

But that looks a fine frame  :daumenhoch:

FuNMoNsTeR:
Thanks Billy...  :daumenhoch:
  The tubing and weld quality looks identical to a early/mid 80s Ta... I know Skyway had probs with the straight brake stays with crushing so they changed to the curved design. The brake stay on this frame is very slightly crushed.
   I wondered if Skyway sold their frame tube stock to Dirt Bros and then Dirt Bros had them welded up by Tange?  Just a theory  ::)
  I had the Dirt Bros thrash test in an old ride or BMX Now magazine(1990 or 91) but i cant for the life of me find it.  >:(

I was watching this on ebay and was very tempted to go for it.
