Skyway TA dodgy weld?

(1/4) > >>

dj B silverlite:
Easy all ive got this one from the bay but upon stripping it found that there seems to be some weld missing on the bottom tube that meets the bb :wtf:. Is this how they were or a factory mistake? It could be weight saving but i think thats a bit too anal for just a bit of weld. :P Ill put some pics up to show what im on about. The serial is 0000378 cheers  :daumenhoch:

harris:
cool  guess its a mistake mate  friday afternoon job

Steve P:
Shame ... cause it's quite an early frame too  ???  it's proof that even Skyway made mistakes BITD  :knuppel2:

Are you thinking of getting it sorted ?

I've got a streetbeat with a completely misaligned/badly welded back end, made in Taiwan. Skyway (bart) used to deny that any of their product ever had a fault and always USA made, photos later.

My Supergoose has the same thing on one of the dropouts  ???
