Title: 1983 Skyway TA
Post by: Macmania on March 20, 2010, 04:54 PM

Bit like buses me, nothing for a while and then two come at once  :D
Anyway, here is my 1983 Curved Brake Bridge Skyway TA. Completed this ages ago but kept changing parts around. Tried gold, blue and now red but I am still not happy with it - I guess I just prefer chrome frames (with a couple of exceptions of course  ;))

Pro Neck Stem
AME Cam's
Kashimax Aero Seat
GT Seat Post
Suntour Seat Clamp
Dia Compe MX 900 with Tech 3 Lever

This is how it is now. Shares a shelf with my Anniversary TA. If anyone is interested it is up for trade for an interesting chrome frameset (see the trade threads).

Very nice Nath  :daumenhoch:

For someone who has only been back into this hobby for 6 months or so you sure are turning out some nice bikes  :4_17_5:

Probably spending a few quid too  :LolLolLolLol:
