That looks sweet. :4_17_5: The teardop tubing, quality welds and those tapered rear stays on the T/A frameset are real things of beauty IMO.

there ya go ;)

That's the first time I've seen someone go to the trouble of smoothing out those awful welds on the mark 2 Burner. They look pretty sweet IMO but I suppose true Burner enthusiasts would prefer to keep the manky welds. 8)
Title: Re: TA
Post by: splodge on February 19, 2010, 07:50 AM: I've got to ask as i've always wondered. Bitd the TA was heavily advertised as 'totally aerodynamic'.... has this ever been proved? Has anyone ever tried it in a wind tunnel & compared it to a mk1 Burner, or even a Haro Master? Maybe the advantages start come into effect at 60mph or something daft?

With advertising standards & all the :idiot2: we have now would Skyway be allowed to advertise their 'totally aerodynamic' bike with out proper evidence?

Sorry if this has been covered before but its just something i've always wondered about & this seems as good a thread as any to ask. :)
