Title: My MK Skyway TA XL.............
Post by: mark 2 on August 14, 2007, 08:04 PM
I finished this a day before MK, hoping it'd be a treat for the TA fans,  some of the parts were bits hanging around from other bikes I'd split or robbed off others just waiting for the right build to come along. It's a TA XL, kinda rare so I wanted to go all out with the Skyway parts and some high end stuff. The 401 flight's on it are nos, also has the Skyway race bars and Tuff pedals, Cal Lite pads etc.  The Tuffs are restored, left in bleach for about a month, you wouldn't believe the condition of them, looked like they'd been dumped in a garden for 10 years. And I know it needs a chain.....Pics aren't perfect sorry, hope you like, it's alright in the flesh.....

Skyway TA XL f&f
Skyway Pro Race bars
Skyway Tuff II wheels
Skyway Graphite pedals
Skyway Cal lite pad set
Oakley F1 grips
Redline 401 flight cranks w/ bubble script chainwheel
Hutch seatclamp
Shimano DX post
Elina Lightning Bolt seat
Hutch stem
Tange 320 headset
Dia Compe MX1000 brake / cable
Haro lever
Panaracer Knarler Knobby tyres

Only cos I said on the phone I reckon it's a bit too heavy on the logo's......I wasn't going to mention it on here :LolLolLolLol:

I was thinking with the DX post logo's and Lightning bolts it might be too fussy....aah fook it.

It's August 84 Ron B btw. 23 years old maybe today, the odds are good.  And Craig. Ssssh about the dogging. Some people know my face now I've been to mk. They'll be matching it to my infamous arse soon, it's not the only forum I frequent remember ;)
