Title: A SKYWAY CLEANED UP FOR THE SUMMER!
Post by: munners on March 30, 2009, 01:20 PM

I bought two survivors this year with the intention of doing a rider for the summer. A CW and a TA.

I intended to keep the CW but i sold the frame and forks and kept all the nice parts that were on it as i found a TA on the bay. The TA was in an awful state.

I cleaned it up the best i could and now i have a summer ride built from survivor parts. Its a dream to ride and looks old skool and old! :LolLolLolLol:

Good work Nick...

Just my opinion...but for me the seat and post don't really go with the rest of it...

You kept the chrome then, thought this was a defo powder job, but you have saved it.  Until I saw the forks, I didnt the think it was the same frame.

Agreed about the seat though, not sure it goes, but rest is spot on for a rider (apart from it needs black grips). :)

The seat was on it so i used it. Aint my fav either. Comfortable though whereas Kashi Aeros aint! :LolLolLolLol:

Original decals but replaced the True temper one as it was fooked!! May jusy peel that off though.

All my framesets are original apart from my Performer. Would never find a NOS yellow 84. :LolLolLolLol:

The bike was from the Isle of Sheppy. Left outside for years getting plastered by the sea air! :D :D The bloke had a Leary too that was nicked 5 months ago. They left this as it looked a state!

Was in a state but it looks a true survivor now. Love it. Drops are perfect apart from a slight crush on the rear bridge that you cant see when built.
