Skyway TA XL Info Wanted
lazychubs:
still a ta but made by dirt bro's
Zippy:
I'm a bit confused about the whole Dirt Bros and Skyway relationship.
I've asked if it has cutouts in the rear dropouts and what the serial number is.
SaMAlex:
the Dirt Bros (mainly Vic Murphy) got a job lot of ta frames from skyway (cos one of them was eddie roman who used to ride for skyway). ta frames were kinda worthless in the early 90s so they were making a point that it wasnt WHAT you rode that mattered. They put redline forks on it and sort of re sold it as a dirt bros frame set. They were usually seen with one brake (not that comon in "freestyle" then), a GT mallet stem, peregrine 48s and forklifter or bully bars. Oh, and a white Havoc sprocket pocket on a one piece crank with DXs.
Very very cool at the time ... and Vic Murphys riding still rules. Even clips from 1990!
QUADROPHENIA:
that be a cool bike si, leave it as it is, you can always flog it to me, been watching it for a while but just couldnt make the jump
Zippy:
I'm in a real quandry now as i had intended to restore it as a proper Skyway TA XL. That was my intention originally as i love the restoring aspect.
I had the intention of poping some LG forks on it and keeping it as a show bike
I have to say the Dirt Bros thing doesn't really mean much to me so i'm undecided as to what to do with it.
