Title: At last I have one... (Skyway content)
Post by: dannywhiteley on April 07, 2008, 09:42 AM

Been busy this weekend, buying a couple of Skyway bikes, both came as a deal from the same person.  The first is a later Streetbeat, with plastic hubbed tuffs, etc...

But the second is a bike ive wanted ever since I was a kid, I finally get my grubby mits on a T/A.  The frame number is K 01344 and has the curved brake bridge, making it a 1983 Japanese model I believe.  The alloy hubbed Tuffs were a bonus, and i'll probably strip it down, resto and rebuild with blue bits and the black wheels to go with my white and red streetbeat I already have.  Not decided on what to do with the Streetbeat above, will probably sell along with my Robinson as I only want two bikes.

But I will need a NOS set of T/A decals...

Cheers, ive wanted one for ages and managed to get a decent deal on the two bikes.

Cant wait to get it and strip it down, give it a good polish and rebuild.

Its a Robinson Pro, the one in the pic below...  It will be slightly different when I come to sell (only rear brake, and pedals off the T/A above).  May also have a different seat / post combo, but essentially the same bike.

I'd take them off as you can half chip the paint with them like that   ;)

Yeah, spose but it doesnt go anywhere and im very careful when getting it down and putting it up on the rack.  Looks better with some pedals there even if they are the wrong way round...lol
