Title: Class of 88
Post by: pickle on July 29, 2012, 04:51 PM

Last year I was lucky enough to pick up an 88 street beat at MK, it had no forks but as they don't come up very often so I put it together with some unstamped LGs.  Well I never thought I'd get the chance for another one but yep........last week thanks to some kind people on here I managed to bag another......with the original forks as well!

Then I get a phone call from a very good friend asking if I want a skyway frame he'd found? Without hesitation I said yes and now have 3!!!!!

It was dusty as hell and still needs some work with the peek but she's a beauty  :smitten:  huge thanks mate!!  :4_17_5:
Looking at the serial numbers they're only 10 frames between them as well

It was chucking it down so sat polishing while the rain smashed against the garage door  :daumenhoch:

Nice collection there, as in your other thread would be cool  8) to do one Red. Small world - only 10 numbers apart, wonder if the same shop sold them BITD.
