Black metal hubbed mags
is there anything written on them?
Never seen skyway with reflector holders, thats why I'm asking
oh, and if the pedals really are what they look like -- shimano dx's -- you have found something nice there in any case. Threads on here on how to refurbish them

Based on those wheels looking like copy Skyways it may follow that the pedals are copy Shimano DXs ...
give it a good clean though and take some more pics ... are you interested in restoring it or just flogging it

naaa, dusty tires is where it's at
lol, searching on the web for info on "stratton cycles", you will almost certainly immediately come across some silly radster :
http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=37147.msg387770#msg387770
.....not givin up yet tho
I'd be surprised if that bike was not from like around '82-83
Have you had a look at the mags yet, do they say
SKYWAY TUFF II WHEELS
or smth like that ?

these guys seem to have found one, too
http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=175755&p=1
its serial# is 840903863 which might indicate that it's from 1984
nother similar (?) one sighted on rad:
http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=43736.5
it, too, has #beginning with 84 (--> YF-840602757)........ aha?
if your # is similar (starting with 84....), i'd check with issues of (for example) "BMX Action" magazine from 1984 : scans of which to be found here
www.23mag.com
.
Might find it in there, but might not (as seeming to be a 'catalogue bike' --as several people have now indicated[ ->links]-- hm
About the worth --I cant say. I already indicated that certain parts could also be interesting for others who are planning to build up other old school bikes. Do the bars have a sticker on it? What does it say? (All the infos you can get...)
Would be cool to see it coming back to life tho

They were definitely sold by the catalogues, my mate had a different one and thats were he got it, that was about 1983.
I'm fairly sure that's the model that came out next so I reckon it's about 1984.

Don't know of any BMX bikes from before 81 with " Aero" tubing ,,only round tubes
That's before the serial confirmed it
Value at the mo I'd say , around a £100 to someone who wants one ,
but moderately restored maybe upto £220 ,, to someone who wants one
Ammaco, Falcon, Huffy price region-ish
