Skyway T/A 25th Anniversary in OSS Racing?

(1/6) > >>

A stupid question coming up and I fully expect the answer to be NO, but I have to ask.

I have my name on the list for the 25th Anniversary Skyway T/A frame & forks.  They just got back to me with a provisional price of around $500

According to the blurb.   This frame and fork is to be built up with tubing from BITD.
It is to be welded the same, geometry same, everything the same apart from a sticker saying 25th Anniversary.

Anyway Could this frame and fork along with all other OS Components qualify this bike to be run in the OS Racing Series.

I know the answer is NO.  But do you see my point.  It is an OS Frame & Fork!!!

There is no advantage between this frame and a old frame in good condition.  Its not like modern PK's and Quad Vs The old PK's and Quad's.

All the Tubing is 25 years old. Its not new tubing.  Only the welding is new.   What if you rewelded an old T/A?

I would just like a healthy debate on this topic because I would buy one, but if I can't race it whats the point in buying it.

Just before I finish, I know the answer will be NO.   I am looking opinions on this subject not just answers i.e "NO"

Thanks

My opinion Ian is,
 if it's 1" headset and caliper brakes  ( no canti lever lugs ) it qualifies no contest in my eyes ,for OS racing

Can't wait to see 'em  :smitten:


lucky bugger  ;)

I was expecting the the first response to be a NO

Thanks Hunterdubber and your stuff was posted today.  I hope that didn't influence you!!!!

Why don't you just buy a used one from the UK if your going to race it? by the time you've paid for shipping and had the TAX man ream out your eyeball sockets, you must be looking £400+

You could get a nice used chrome one for that.

moley:
Look Mr Burgandy,  I'm a big fan and I love that hair, but thats not the question.

I am only on a waiting list for the Skyway T/A, I could easily drop out.   Even the colortuff shop rep who emailed said there was a long waiting list and many people would drop out before the frames are ready.

Theres a chrome T/A on ebay that got 6 days left and Its already up to £360.

My point is what makes a bike "old school".

Thats the debate.
