Dirt Bros Skyway Ta
FuNMoNsTeR:
I thought it was a steal at the price m8.... ;)
The magazine the Dirt Bros test is in is Ride Issue 9 Feb/Mar 1984... i have part of the mag but the test section is missing >:(
Does anyone have the complete magazine? Here is a shot of the cover:

You've got it the wrong way round, the curved bridge came first.
I have to say though that frame is a bit of an enigma. It has the vent holes down the rear stays like the japanese model but has a straight bridge. Skyway have said they made the odd change over time for different riders for strength testing this could be something like that. It's one of a kind though. Can you do a decent picture of the s/n on the bottom bracket FUN?
Bob_Acid:
There's somebody riding one in Agroman or ride on if anyone has that and somebody on VBMX did one a few years back in dark green. I'm not sure if Dirt bros went with the TA forks either but i don't think they did.

I thought they were straight first, then when they realised that there was a problem with the brake bridge crushing it was changed to the curved type. Why would they have changed from a curved brake bridge which was ok to a straight one that was faulty, it makes more sence the other way round ???

Just looked at the Skyway serial numbers thread and you`re right Bob :crazy2:
