Go on Rob I'll throw this one in.
This is my Hollys Retro 20" TA.
I've never built a modern frame before so this is my first attempt.... She's pretty pleased with it.
Hope you like.

1984 Second Generation Torker Built Haro Sport in original paint with original decals and in survivor condition .
Oldest know to exist and thought to be the very first 2nd gen produced.
Built over a period of 6 months sourcing used and unrestored original era correct parts which was harder than finding the minty versions. The ODI grips are original and the Number plate is also an OG survivor with used push on numbers (only took me 4 months to find a number 8!! .
All parts are original 84/85 and used with exception to the tyres which are unused comp 3.
However ...
Since these photos were taken last weekend (just managed to finish in time for MK16 ) the bike has received some ratty well used blue Comp 3 Tioga Tyres and the chainring has been replaced by an identical well used sugino blue chainring which has some fading.
The skyways are currently being swapped over for faded red ones and red dc 84 cables. i didnt get on with the coaster and being 50/50s i knew they were 85's . that said this frame and fork set would have actually been retailed in 85 as they didnt make the UK shops till Early Dec 84 .
Ok maybe a tad OCD for a Survivor / Rat build ;D :D ;)

The skyways are currently being swapped over for faded red ones and red dc 84 cables. i didnt get on with the coaster and being 50/50s i knew they were 85's .
Lovely bike Stockcar3
Are you saying all 50/50 Tuffs are 1985 onwards ? 😊
Just to query your concern over 50/50 Tuffs . I don't know about your particular pair , as you may have checked the serial dating inside the tyre rim (usually in a marker pen by the production line )
But from my personal experience I bought a pair of 50/50 black Tuffs in December 1983 from Surrey BMX shop , so they were definately produced in 1983 , if that helps at all.😇
If Im barking up the wrong tree , just pretend you've never read this drivel 👍🏻

You sure It wasn't December 84 Christian ?
This is taken from the skyway history page ,
By 1985 there were a good number of "copycat" wheel makers out there, but Skyway was still the master of their craft. Skyway, wanting to improve their Tuff Wheel design again, re-tooled their molding machines and starting making the Tuff Wheel version that is still available today. This version did away with the metal and alloy flanges of the past model and had the "Kool hub" design actually molded in the wheel itself.
I always understood it was late 84- early 85 when the change over happened

Voted. Awesome bikes as always

Voted. We'll done people explosion
(When are we open for September entries btw??)
-
....yay, a modern TA 8) the AeroPros aswell, real nice bikes :daumenhoch:
-
Voted :daumenhoch:
-
well its funny you say that . the marking inside says 8/84 hence why i fitted them however i was told 50/50s were released in 85 , so as not to put the wrong info i stated 85 .
That said the 84's only arrived in this country in late November 84 anyway so most would be retailed during 85 anyway .
-
voted, top work as always guys.
-
I was sure it was late 84/early 85 when the 50/50's came in. I thought the change happened around the same time that the colour expansions (orange,green,grey,pink,lavender) were released.
Once again, some great builds again this month :4_17_5:
