I turned my one down - but they made it quite clear that I can't let someone else take my place due to the amount of people on the waiting list.
Would loved to help out fellow radders - but can't. :(

Okay. Not bitchin' here but... Are you aware the forks have solid dropouts but the rear dropouts have the No. 1/lightning bolt cutout. I think it's a great idea to utilise those leftover T/A tubesets but the dropout issue bothers me. Why couldn't they have had matching solid drops or matching drops with the cutout. Someone on another forum has mentioned that the brake bridge appears to be a curved one instead of the straight one you would expect on an '86 serialled T/A. I'm not saying this project is something Dr. Frankenstein might have knocked up in his lab but a bit of consistency would have been nice.
That said, at least they can't be passed off as original 80's produced f+f's as these variations would be spotted by an OS Skyway fan :-\

i think this is excellent that the bike is made from an '86 production line but as i asked with Kuwahara KZ-1 Rep will it be OS Race legal? i mean it came from 1986 but was never welded up...

In the mid 80's, when freestyle started taking off, many people were using their race frames for freestyle riding.
with that thought, these T/A's that were shelved until now, had "stronger" dropouts made for them. It's still the same T/A dropout, but without the cutout.
Skyway co-owner Jon Raudman told me that by eliminating the arrow cutout in the dropout, it strengthed the dropout a bit.
Hmmmm. Not sure if it made the dropout stronger, but that's what they did anyway...
