White T/A's are awesome   :smitten:

Looking lovely is it a rider ?  :daumenhoch:


If funds allow and you're keeping  it a while it would be worth changing a few of the bits for era correct bars  etc
suvivor bits aren't that dear , but look so right

Nice work Matt  :)

Cheers All,
All mine are riders.  :daumenhoch:
If you know any bars that fit the bill, please let me know. These Haro's just looked a little 'better' than the ez's I have.
Keeping the twin pinch as it's a rider and you can't go wrong with the latest sealed bb's.  ;D
Darren had already fitted the headset so didn't feel the need to swap that.

Cee-Dubs would work well on a T/A rider.  Era correct and not hideously expensive.  Getting a rusty set powdered shouldn't cost the earth (if you want white bars)

This is looking good mate, did you have the bule on the decal made in a brighter shade of blue? Or is that the flash making look like that?

Shaping up very nicely indeed Matt :smitten:

Post by: Deano on October 24, 2011, 08:41 PM
Yeah i saw the boarder and guess they were custom it was just the blue bit i wondered if you had asked for a brighter lighter shade as i was thinking something along those lines myself for mine. So it matched up better with the blue anno'd parts.

Always keep me eye out for a TA, just a classic. How can you not want one ;)

Even better in white than chrome for me.

Well, it's now altogether and I'm really pleased with how it's turned out. Not really 100% on these seats so that'll probably go at some point, but it is comfy.  ::)

Matt,

I am loving your builds and the rate you are knocking them out.

Top work.

No recession in the Matt household !!

Shame the weather is pants as I would love to see these in the flesh.

Post by: Julian347 on November 07, 2011, 03:00 PM
Looks very nice Matt. Nearly as nice as mine.  ;D

Will that be your London ride?
Title: Re: Skyway TA - Let the build begin!
Post by: mattuknc on November 07, 2011, 03:04 PM
Thank you. The weather isn't really stopping me riding, rode to work this morning!  ;D (erm, not on the ta though)
Where abouts are you then? This'll be at the December London ride if it's not chucking it down!

They're the Cal lite ones I think.
Hopefully it'll be on the London ride, probably not if it looks horrible out, I'll take the ET rep then! (And my dad can ride the Goose!)  ;D

I'm at your work Matt, its Tony, the guy who doesn't go on any of the rides but loves BMX and loves seeing everyone's good work on here !

I take it the TA won't be ridden to work ?

It sure does look better, the blue matches the grips better too.  It's a little marked the aero, but it's being ridden so all's good. :daumenhoch:
