** Skyway STREET BEAT build ** FINISHED PICS ADDED
« on: October 13, 2010, 01:21 AM »
Ok today i thought id get ripped into my 85 streetbeat . This is going to be a rider and not a carpet queen :wink: .   Ive battled in my head for ages on the colourscheme and parts on this but eventually decided on black and white .   I want to keep this bike clean looking without brake calipers , levers or cables ,  I havnt lost the plot tho as its got a coaster rear brake   :wink: .  Anyway today i scanned in the old decalset i peeled off and made up these custom ones instead in gloss black with a chrome outline . They are so hard to photograph but look so much better in real life .   All i need now is to buy a set of grips and a chain , oh and myybe some different pedals  :wink: .  Overall im really pleased with how its turning out and love the clean look with no brakes .   As for the padset please excuse it as its just an experiment to see what im going to make for it , its just a sticker on for now .  :wink: 

Spec List

1985 Skyway Streetbeat F&F
Nos Skyway EZ Bars

Not normally a fan of Streetbeats. Too many lurid colours. This one though... Sweet.

Looks perfect overall and that paintwork looks super-shiny.  :4_17_5:  I'd lower the stem or use a flex-fighter to keep everything nice and neat.  :daumenhoch:

nice bike N13L !

like the colours you picked, nice balanced look there. If I had buckets of money wouldn't mind one of my own but for now 1/2 a bike is keeping me busy LOL

saw this (link below) while I was looking for my first frame, no good for a rider but very pretty nonetheless (can anyone ID the power disc?)
there's a whole series of pictures on there from a while back when someone apparently dug up a load of raw frames and they had a competition

cheers
