Title: You wait 25 years..then two come along at once
Post by: retrorb on November 11, 2006, 02:29 PM

Hi Guys,

After finishing my redline last week - I have finally put together my chrome Skyway (#426). Its not quite finished - need chain, brake cable, tuff/acs pads and rear caliper bolt) should all be ready for Epic.

Skyway TA frame/forks/padset
ACS Z-Rims/Suzue Sealed hubs NOS
Tuff-neck stem
Kashimax Seat NOS
Suntour chainring/seat clamp NOS
Takagi 180 1 piece NOS
Skyway graphite pedals NOS
Mushrooms NOS
MX1000/tech 4 NOS
CW Bars
Knarler Knobbies NOS

I am thinking about changing the wheels to red Ukais or putting black comp III's on, but I think it looks slightly different - i hope I've done it justice

Looks  nice, but get a proper Tuff Neck stem on there, that's a mini one. Nice cooker  :daumenhoch:
