Title: Early Jap Skyway TA.
Post by: Macmania on April 01, 2010, 05:50 PM

Right here is my latest build. Got hold of the frameset from a fellow Radster last year and have been slowly gathering parts since then to complete. Really wanted to keep this build clean and fresh looking........and a bit different from all of the colourful TA's that are out there (and a bit different from the rest of my collection  :D). Hope you like it.

Parts List
1983 Skyway T/A Frame and Forks, Early Curved Brake Bridge Model (Manufactured in Japan) , Original Survivor Chrome.
GT Pro Bars.
Tuf Neck (Pro Model) Stem.
Oakley B2's with Crud Plugs.
Elina Lightening Seat.
Dia Compe Twin Bolt Seat Clamp.
Dia Compe MX 900 with Tech III Lever.
Skyway Pad Set.
Haro Tech Number Plate.
Skyway Tuff II Alloy Flange Wheels.
Tioga Comp IIIs.
Skyway Graphite Pedals.
Redline 401 Flight Cranks (180) Single Pinch Full Wrap.
Redline Bubble Font Chainwheel.
Izumi Chain.
