Title: skyway ta 25th anniversary
Post by: b33fy03 on June 02, 2008, 11:42 AM
hi all,
love this site,loads of great info and fantastic bikes
i am currently restoring a ta to the same spec as my original ride way back when.
i put my name down several months ago for a 25th anniversary special limited run(150 frame sets) skyway ta and to my surprise skyway came back to me to say that i have made it on to the list and i have now secured it with a deposit.
i have a fresh powder coat white ta ready for assembly but am now unsure as to weather i should wait for the anniversary frame set for my build and sell the original restored frame on...would the 25th anniversary frame set make the bike any more special..any thoughts would be appreciated

Choice is yours fella... depends if you can afford to do both, then keep both... I probably would as both will be highly sought after  :daumenhoch:

i love these bike but the cost to build two bikes would be way more than i could afford at the moment...the ta i have at the moment has cost me a packet...i think it would have to be one or tuther.

Didn't the original f+f come with a frame pad included?  Somebody get on to Colored Tuffs and tell them to get some pads made up :)

the 25 th anniversary frames are made up from old stock(or so they say)back from 83ish  that they never used and freshly welded by the original welder no less... good point...i will check to see if they supply a frame pad

id sell the old ta and build up the 25th ani one

the price has started to fall on ta's so i would sell it while u can and still get a good price
as for sticking them in the loft will any one want them in a few years ? will they be worth anything?
a lot of people have got back into bmx that are in there 30-40s me included but give it a few years i think the bubble will burst and hardly anyone will be interested again

build the new one and ride it  :daumenhoch:
