Title: Nice TA on eGay - NOT
Post by: MartyC on January 19, 2008, 07:42 PM: This guy should be shot, like fook is it a TA unless they added a kickstand mount in the late 80's :2gunsfiring_v1: :2gunsfiring_v1: :2gunsfiring_v1:

FFS I hope no-one gets stung and hits the BIN button :knuppel2: :knuppel2:

I emailed them and told them it wasnt (I think it might have been a Curtis cos of the boxed in drop out). They wrote back and said that it DID have an S&M sticker on it. I replied and said "so has my car but its still a Fiat!". The seller came back with a "lol" but continued with the sale ... and got no bids.

Oddly enough, something similar happened to me and the seller of the Skyway Chopper above.

That Chopper is kinda rad. The skyway headtube decal is like a funny gimmic to someone who is into skyway. Not that that makes it worth any more.

Post by: highrisedrifter on January 20, 2008, 01:03 AM: I've reported it... and got into an argument with the chump selling it.

Not a lot more I can do really.

What did he say ? .
Title: Re: Nice TA on eGay - NOT
Post by: highrisedrifter on January 20, 2008, 01:12 AM: I said that is wasn't a Skyway, and pointed him to the Skyway section of the museum on here to prove it. I told him about the dropouts on the forks, oval tubing, seat-tube thinning just below and behind the seat stays and so on.

He said basically that it is a Skyway as even I can see it has original Skyway stickers on it and they don't make THOSE anymore...

Post by: Flatcap on January 20, 2008, 09:00 AM: Look like it's been taken off, fooking halfwit, I love the reply about you not being able to buy the stickers anymore!

D1ckheads like that do my head in! I couldn't be ar$ed with an argument so I just sent him a message saying "It's not a TA you fooking nobhead".

It's a shame in a weird way though as it did have some half decent parts on it, could have gone on a genuine F&F of some kind and made a nice bike!

Oh well, at least someones not gonna get ripped off now by some retard so we've all done our good deed for the day.
