Hello folks. did a search but found nowt. Anyone know if any framesets are making their way over here?
Many threads regarding these...a few of us have them on order, last delivery date mentioned was end of June...still nothing further from them yet. ::)

Delievery...........................it will turn up when its ready :daumenhoch:
I'm in no rush :coolsmiley:

I couldn't find the 'big' thread on this issue, anyway, an update on fb last night;
"This is Ken Coster from Skyway. In about three weeks we will have the T/A frame/forks, handlebars, Skyway frame pads. I know it took longer than expected, but, you will be pleased! I thank you for your patience and ALL the great comments...Skyway fans are the greatest!!"
Fingers crossed then... :daumenhoch:
-
Erm, does that mean ill get the 20" T/A frameset ive been waiting 5 years for??

I thank you for your patience and ALL the great comments...Skyway fans are the greatest, they each give us $100 or more which we use as cashflow to fund other projects and holidays.......YEEEEEEHAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!!"

Seriously aBrits,
iīve been banned two times from the museum just cause i said this.
This Skyway revival is a brutal scam. it has nothing to do with Skyway from former times. like Mini, nowwadays BMW has nothing to do with the original brand.
Why the fook do you support this Yankee scam?
really, if not Andy Patterson comes here and consecrated these frames, itīs just one more simple Yankee rip off to the world.
I mean these guys are known for this. they ripped off 50yrs, trying to sell us their shit, Coca Cola, Mc Donalds... trying to convince us of whatever.
Brits, wake up! Itīs over!
Skyway does NOT EXIST AS A BMX BRAND anymore!
Do not buy this shite!
Better invest in something good, like your childrens education or something.

Calm down man! You're gonna do yourself an injury :daumenhoch:

If they release a Pro burner 24 or Aero pro 24 inch that would be great - if koizumi or Tange make them, but if Raleigh are doing it don't bother, after the last load of cack they reproduced. Even stylers are better than the repro junk.

It could easily be done with any Jap made cromo cruiser frame from the 80s :daumenhoch:
-
To be honest i think a retro rather than new school option of the cruiser would have been nice.
Looking at the quality of the welding and the chroming of those prototypes i would have much prefered the os stylee.
I would wager most buying these won't have a thought of competitive racing on them so why bother with the ns slant. :coolsmiley:
Wonder if they did a bit of market research 1st?

The main idea behind this frame and fork set was NOT to build just another race frame to compete with the all of the others out there. There are well more than thousands of people out there that grew up in the 70's and 80's on BMX bikes, and used a Skyway T/A for racing, freestyling, or just ordinary riding. Now, most of us riders from back then are in our 40's. This 24" T/A XL frameset is made for those old Skyway fans. 40-something year-olds that like the look of a classic BMX bike. It does in fact have modern race geometry, as far as the angles are concerned, and is built up to be a true XL size bike. It's pretty long with it's 22" top tube, and tall. It's not a sleek compact racer- That wasn't the goal. It's a roomy retro inspired frameset with a great design that is made to appeal to those former T/A owners from back in the day. You can still race it out at the track, but I know that the majority of the guys picking this up just want a sweet looking bike that feels great, to ride, and thrash around on.
As far a market research- there are plenty of us 40-something year olds out there that still ride, and I've met a ton of guys that no longer wish to ride a 20" bike. There is certainly a market for something like this! We made a bike that WE want to ride.
Skyway has a long history with BMX. The owners of Skyway now, are in fact still the same group of guys that started and ran the company back in the day. Same ownership, same factory location. BMX is the ROOTS for Skyway.
This is just the first frameset that Skyway will release. The next one will be a 20" XL frame and fork set.

Price is $450 for white, $460 for chrome, US dollars.

Its been a long and sometimes uncertain wait, but after seeing that pic on FB earlier, im now feeling a liitle bit excited too. Looks great :daumenhoch:
-
Even though it has been a tad controversial bringing out these Skyway 24" TA, is there a cooler bike to be hacking around on during the summer? They may not be much good for pure racing but for cruising around looking cool, well they are the best.

Here is the white production frame/fork/bars
