Apparrently Skyway have found some lying in a corner that didn't make it to the painters. Frame with the forks.

Anything as long as it's not green eh?  They look cool in orange though.

Post by: Zippy on October 11, 2005, 06:45 PM

I have to say Dordy's Orange StreetBeat is brilliant, however I'd have to go for something a little different because I wouldn't want to dilute what his means.

Title: Re: NOS original Skyway Streetbeat frame and forks. Unpainted.
Post by: RADHAB on October 11, 2005, 09:35 PM

As far as i remember they made 4 or 5 chrome beats when it was first released, after the prtotype that Vander had, and i think they had the Ta sticker sets on em. Best thing to do is ask Maurice Meyer at www.mauricemeyer.net he'll be able to tell you the exact spec etc.

No worries, glad to be of help.

No idea what to do with mine, probably out it in the loft and forget about it for a few years along with my brand new skyways.

Mine should be on the way soon.
As it's 'raw' I've wondered about getting lugs welded on for 990s (seatstays, with a drilled seattube). Would that cause too much of an outrage?
Secondly, where's a good place to get some paint on the thing?

Title: Re: NOS original Skyway Streetbeat frame and forks. Unpainted.
Post by: theRuler on October 13, 2005, 12:48 PM

good idea on the lugs wayne

i will do the same!!!

yeh but i've been to a few shows now and have'nt seen one green one.

Title: Re: NOS original Skyway Streetbeat frame and forks. Unpainted.
Post by: lloydieboy on October 15, 2005, 02:41 AM

Sorry, you can't knock a Streetbeat, I think they've had a hard time purely through being one of the last old school frames, when BMX was dying off in the 80's. Thatframe is pure old school and should be recognised as a top 80's frame set. Come on, it's the brain child of Vander and any old school fan should respect it for that alone!!!

And Neil Ruff and CC rode one. Cut it some slack. Top frame!!!
