skyway silky smooth rider

[trickydeno]

just been for a blast on me street beat! so smooth to ride....the rider not so smooth with the tricks though anymore

i nearly sold this aswell a couple of months back....glad i kept it 

skyway street beat f&f-1985
lilac tuff ii's with suntour coaster-panaracer gumwalls
oddy opc-bb-turbo disc-sr pedals
oddy calipers & gyro
dc-tech 77 levers
gt freestyle stem-e-z bars
tioga layback-suntour clamp-copy aero seat


  it is a proper buzz riding your old school builds.its great to have show ponies aswell.....but nothing like ridin em

I would loose the seatpost, if your going to ride it you will probably crack the frame seat tube 

The rest of it looks spot on

Cool Build Deno..Diggin the Lavender Tuffs too..but deffo lose the post

And no snake or elina cosmic's please

Seems loads of folk have a problem with these posts but isn't this effectively an era correct freestyle upgrade?
With all the extra tubing and gussets etc on freestlyer's, personally I don't think it looks out of place, a bit too high maybe
If it was on a race bike, now that's a different story. JMHO.

Nothing like an OS buzz

No it looks okay, but they put a lot of stress on the frame seat tube & it might crack.

But having said that, I have never seen or heard of a Streetbeat seat tube cracking    I have seen them crack on TA's, Rippers, Hutch, Haro's etc

no your right guys,i agree on the seat post,just that i wanted to put a white one on it and at the time this was all i had in white....gonna replace it with an oddy post

Good stuff.  I also hate those hideous braced posts so an Odyssey post seems like a great idea to me.   If the post is chrome, maybe try a white seat as the purple seat is a few shades out compared to the colour of the frame and that would be a way around that little problem.   

White grips would be a winner as well.

Good stuff mate - always nice to see an OS build that gets ridden 

My couple of sheckles worth on the seatpost...........

Yes they look cack - I can't stand how they look and I've never had one on any of my builds.....BUT..... if you're not too bothered by it, for a street cruiser you may as weel keep it - the odyssey post will not put your seat as far back as that one positions it and the odyssey posts are crap at accepting the extra weight that comes with 30 something / 40 something riders  i.e. they bend like fook with too much weight 

Either way - have fun 

[pickle]

agree with mr bobafett regarding the Oddy posts, they bend real easy!  if you want a strong normal layback go for a Renthal

Deano, if you bring it to MK I've got a white Kashi & white Ami Tri's we can try on it to see how it looks in case you want to try it first. Just bring it to the Gazeeeeeebo and we can give it a whirl ;-)

Loose that fooking seatpost though bud.....
