Afternoon,
i was on the hunt for some green 85 skyway forks for a long time as i managed to buy a nos frame from the usa but alas no forks. there pretty hard to get hold of on there own...i was the winning bid on another frame and fork set on ebay and as a bonus came with some mark 1 ez bars and bits of a spinmaster...so then i thought "might as well just build another one" and thats what i have started doing. im going with the green and black look with a hint of chrome. its a bit of a budget build ;) , ive got a pair of chrome 901's that im going to use and some black tuff II's. Decals are by the legend that is Del, i did try some black TA stickers but the quality wasnt all that. i will update as soon as, going to get the BB pressed in on saturday and hopefully my other bits will arrive soon. ...cheers. :)

Thanks mate, beats are my favorite... When I first got the bars I was a bit dubious of what they were but when Brummie confirmed they were ez 1's I was well chuffed... My other beat cost me a lot what with customs and postage from the u.s but I got such a good deal on this it's kind of balanced it out :)

That's looking lush already chap :4_17_5:, looking forward to seeing that built up...........Buz :daumenhoch:

Love the green, will look great when finished!! :daumenhoch:

You see the fence behind the bike.... put that seat post the other side of it and forget all about it... :daumenhoch:
Snakes On a Plane - CRAP FILM
Snakes On a Bike - CRAP BIKE.
Just my opinion of course.. rest of it looks bang tidy ;)

Defo Amber Walls :daumenhoch:

Afternoon Radsters!!...hope all is cool.
thought i would do a quick update...bb is pressed in but my crank never turned up :( swapped the tyres for some amber walls to see what they look like and have fitted the brakes. Pretty happy with it so far bar the gap between my top headset cup, it wont tighten anymore???? but i will sort that out....i have a black chain but thinking possibly chrome but once my crank arrives and the chainring is on i can decide. have a good one, cheers Jay.
Gap- any ideas, maybe just a different cage size?

sweet,thanks!couldn't work it out!bargain price too! :daumenhoch:

Love the beat but the front caliper needs to be an 880 or a Nippon and a Potts mod needs to be run IMO :angrysoapbox:
Those Decals are awesome 8)
It is one of many great beats I have seen this year :D

Totall agree about the potts and 880, when one comes along at reasonable price then it will be mine(I'm still trying to fInd one for my other beat).. I missed out on one a few weeks ago but I like the hunting for parts side of things and I can cope with a 901 until then. Decals are awesome and I can't thank del enough... Have a good one mate :)
-
Well its pretty much done for the moment, just need some sr 468 end caps. Thanks for all the help, comments and general laughs...much appreciated. ;)

Bang tidy is that :daumenhoch:

Evening all, thought i would post a few more pics as its had a couple of changes...still waiting for my pedals to arrive but its getting there. ive added skyway hubbed wheels, swapped the turbo disc for a pro neck, spider, tioga bolts. Swapped the front 901 for a 880(potts mod). Added a pair of skyway fins with kool pads. The crank was one of those hollow landar jobs but ive swapped it for a sugino and added a bottom bracket boot that i dyed black. Ive also swapped the suntour stem for a ACS rotor stem that i had powdercoated black....and finally some trick nuts front and rear. still needs fine tuning but im happy with it...cheers :daumenhoch:

That is coming along real nice chap :coolsmiley:, these beats are really growing on me :smitten:........next time, get the mower a little closer to the fence ;D
Buz :daumenhoch:
-
Sweeeeeet :daumenhoch: I think the previous chainwheel suited the bike more though but what do i know. I appreciate the current setup is probably better quality though.
Good luck with the rest of your tweaks.
