Way back in '83 I bought my first BMX magazine, it was BMX Action Bike, I think it was the one with Mike D on the cover, number 16. On the back cover was this Skyway advert, and I stared at this ad more than anything, with the Street Thrashin' TA being my first dream bike. Never got it bitd but last year I did a thread asking what parts do you reckon were on the back end and this is what I concluded it could have been so built it.

They look like black / white B1B's to me but I put on Oakley .5's. Most of it was built up of parts I already had , other than brake and CW's. It was just a quick turnaround, 2 weeks, was going to start the hunt for the B1B's. But it's got grey/ black Unitron's now. And black tuffs and ST's. So it's kinda a different bike now! It may go back to white tuffs and comp 3's, they're sat in the sidelines..... who knows what its future brings....!

I got this XL too, I built this for mk a couple of years ago with the spec all planned out- reality is end result was a pig imo. Too many logo's, too busy, lacks subtlety and class.  Bike was too long with Hutch stem...bars too small for frame.  Got less chrome and more blue anno now,  blue ukai's now, white comp 4's,  lost the seat / post to a gt and blue kashi, blue tuf neck stem, blue mx 1000 and no pads. May swap the frame to the street thrahin' TA,  proportions would be better with the lofty cw's. BTW, lovin' those bull bars Sean, forgot that bike was yours.

Good idea Pete, get some ads out. A TA thread every couple of years is alright, you get to see some oldies and what the new blood's doing, it's the bike for every man, a bread and butter staple in os.  It's a real versatile bike to build, you can get away with most colours and budgets and it'll still look great. Anyway I digress.... :yahoo_silent:
