Also white coaster tuffs, hence two  DC clamps and VDC bars. Bit of Craig Campbell flavour going on. Got this frameset from the US last year - had been in the rafters of a garage for 14 years. Time to bring it back to life  :daumenhoch:

Sweeeeetttt, they're a work of art :smitten:

Just got my first ever T/A on Friday after 26 years of waiting :smitten: (ps: I placed the frame very very very carefully on the slabs)

Not sure yet whether to build for April though

I wish, it's not quite, some burnishing of the chrome in some areas and some light scratches (both of which I'm scared to work on in case I make a hash of it). However overall it's all there tidy/straight, dropouts are fine with skyway logo  visible, think the forks may have had a re-chrome at some point.

Still it's the dream frame set for me, ever since seeing Bob Medrano on the cover of BMX Action Bike Sep83 and the skyway ads at the back of the magazines

April is gonna be Skyway heaven.
