What did Skyway team ride pre-T/A?

I'm just curious to know what frames the Skyway factory riders rode prior to Skyway making the T/A.  Guys like AP, Medrano, Shobert and Esser.  From the pics I've seen Bottema forks look quite popular with them, but there don't seem to be any stickers on the frames, which look quite generic.  I quite fancy building up a really oldschool Skyway factory replica bike if they're relatively easy to come by.  Unlikely I know but worth a try.  Can anyone shed any light on what frames they used?  Thanks guys.

They Rode various frames GT ect, but using Tuffs, sort of a co sponsorship deal wheels only.

Thanks Kirk, I seem to recall of pic of Esser eating Redditch mud in an old copy of ABMX with a GT lying next to him, but didn't know if it was his or not.  If anyone has a pic of the team riders on a clearly identifiable frame that would be great.  I'd like to 'get it right' if I did try putting a replica together.

Well that's a Bob Horne replica out the window.  Can't afford a looptail PK just yet!  :laugh:  Didn't any of them ride a Burner or somthing else a bit cheaper?  ;D   Those were the days eh, even the bleedin Novices got a factory ride!
