As long as the tests on the Prototypes are ok then expect to see them mid June.
I'll be having one (my names already down).....
Or as already said, buy a Haro. You could always get is signed too like everyman and his dog. :D
Post by: SDF on April 01, 2017, 09:15 PM
the haro master is a far nicer looking frame, why would you want get a streetbeat instead :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\I will probably keep my master, as it is a great f&f. I am a massive Skyway fan and have a orange Ruffell tribute Beat, and a custom green and yellow Styler, hence I could see one of these in my collection.
Post by: Gnarlyscoots on April 01, 2017, 09:20 PM
No need for a coaster tab to be fitted either, as they are extinct.
Nice looking frame set though, just not my cup of tea :daumenhoch:
Post by: stevesredvxr on April 01, 2017, 09:30 PM
This was actually designed in the same office and on the same drawing board as the original TA and Beats, by the same engineer and designer Rein Stolz.

Might do Steve, just might do :daumenhoch:
Good man. Did you know that yours was used for measurements for the new one? Theyd lost a lot of the original drawings and so needed an original 88 to copy from.? ;)

Not a massive skyway fan but if this feels like a new school but looks old school I could be persuaded.
Surely your contribution earns you a free one Rob ;)
Post by: stevesredvxr on April 01, 2017, 09:59 PM
Yeah i remember you taking them mate, makes it that little bit more special :daumenhoch:
Sure does ;)
Post by: BMX1973 on April 01, 2017, 10:10 PM
Does looks nice. I would build with reproduction parts. :coolsmiley:
Post by: Gnarlyscoots on April 01, 2017, 10:27 PM
Please persuade them to go with a Mid BB :daumenhoch:

Post by: gary4130 on April 02, 2017, 12:13 AM
glad to see that its got a coaster tab-just to be different
will they be done in '88 colours?-love to get a red one
any idea on price mate?
how do i go about ordering one ?

I reckon coaster tab will stay, I hope so. Gives it that old School look.
It will be paint over chrome like the 88's.
Aqua and chrome, black and chrome and red and chrome.
Remember this is still at prototype stage and changes to the frame are still possible.
As for price im not sure if they know yet, I suppose it depends on the final tweeks and then they can work out the costs.
Ed at planet will I'm sure have the first batch for sale but I'm guessing once the distributor over here (Coyote) has them then I guess they'll go the usual channel, Alan's etc.
Mid June is the target for release but we'll just have to see.
It's at least a year behind schedule.

Rear drop outs 14mm Steve ? Reckon I could fancy one of them
Post by: Spen69 on April 02, 2017, 08:24 AM
I'm only asking as i've just set up my AD996 Hombre and they only work with bit of a frig on the cable direction to pull as the top rear stays are a low angle on most newschool frames.
Looks good though and will give a lot of fans a great riding bike i'm sure :daumenhoch:

Spen that's exactly what we said about putting the brake mounts on the lower stay. He had real problems designing onto the upper.
I think it would be better too....like I said it's just a prototype and nothing's set in stone. He is listening to the comments and criticisms.
Post by: oldtired on April 02, 2017, 10:15 AM
chain stay has to be the best place for the brake, easy enough to raise or lower the stay to allow clearence for ns gearing
underneath causes it's own problems if your grinding/doing stalls, seen a few old ones with lugs bent or snapped off,
perhaps built in tensioners too ?

Yes Clint.Got my rare unsigned 2015 Blyther

I can see the need for a v brake or u brake on the rear but not for the front.
Also there was rumblings of a 26 inch TA cruiser,is this still happening ?
Post by: stevesredvxr on April 02, 2017, 03:26 PM
26" have already gone through prototype and are in production. When I was out there in September they had some there but they weren't quite happy with them.
Keep an eye on Planet BMX for details, they are taking deposits.

Did this ever get manufactured? Failing this does anyone know where I could get a NOS 85 from?
Cheers all
Stay safe

NOS 85's sometimes come up on the Skyway Appreciation site on Facebook.

No, the project has now been shelved.
