Is it just a NOS frameset with a load of era correct bits thrown in?  I thought all factory Skyways came with those 6 Spoke Skyway OE wheels.  I think a monkey is more than enough for one of those :-\

It was the later bikes that had the 6 spoke oe wheels on, the Street Styler I believe  :-\

I know what you mean Michael - something doesn't quite add up on this one  :-\ AD990 fittings on a 1985 F&F - is that correct?

It looks a nice set of stuff mind - but I reckon £500 is about right...

its completely genuine, bought from alans when he sold them for £199 complete I had one exactly the same  but this goes back to about 1999/2000 when times were good

I always assumed that nearly all early Streetbeats were sold as a f+f, only.  I just found this one on that german Skyway site and it looks exactly the same and has those AD mounts  :D

Here it is again :-[  Nice, but I still think £500 is a fair price for a Streetbeat :-\
