Title: SKYWAY TA BUILD Coments?
Post by: shockcorp on October 10, 2005, 05:26 PM

Hey guys,
I’m kind of new here so I figured I can share one of my builds to you folks.
This was a recent put together. Since the Pic I was able to secure NOS
Flight cranks sticker kit.
Allot of people helped me find the right parts I was looking for over in the UK
So hats off to you for the help and the broke bank account that helped me through this!  ;D

Let me know what you all think....

Thanks for looking...
Shawn

For me, that would be the absolute dogs bollox if you changed the seat to a red Kashimax. The rest is perfect-a-mundo, espescially the Vector bars and white/red Unitron's. Bootyful ;D

I tried the red seat, It just didnt seem to match with the sticker color as well!
And you see how the white is, yellowish.
Hey thanks for the post!

I didnt have the heart to take the cable out of the damn bag!
If I sell it Ill add it with the bike.
I am not a big TUFFs fan myself! Especially from a racing backround I came from.

I agree on the bars! I did try others like some HUTCH Pro bars with a red HUTCH neck
And Powdered Powerlite bars with a RED TUFF Neck.
It just appeared to look better with the Vector bars for some reason.
I cannot believe how light the whole package turned out to be! Amazing!
Thanks for the post!

Fella that red chainring and power disk look incredible!

I know that we all have our own unique ideas about colour schemes but the only (and note I say only because that bike looks amazing as it is) thing that I would change would be the seat post clamp, as I like to create a 'triangle' of the same colour between the chainring, the headset and the seat clamp itself.

But that is in no way a criticism. Nice work.  ;)
