I'm no expert - but isn't that a stem pad?

Looks like a gooseneck pad.

Yes, for single clamp goosenecks; maybe the seller thinks it's for layback seatposts because you'd really one there

Nice looking gooseneck pad though, not seen a skyway one.

Maybe not £50 nice though

Tefore · « **Reply #5 on:** September 22, 2011, 03:31 PM »

fookin hell i had a box load of these from skyway a few years back.
tis a real one though

theRuler · « **Reply #6 on:** September 22, 2011, 03:32 PM »

If this sells for £50, I will eat my cock.

Bob_Acid · « **Reply #7 on:** September 22, 2011, 05:40 PM »

I've just paid £50 for it.

Can we expect that video soon TR?

Tefore · « **Reply #8 on:** September 22, 2011, 06:20 PM »

i think we should get 50 members to put £1 each so you have to do it. a verbal contract is as good as a written.lol

Deano · « **Reply #9 on:** September 22, 2011, 06:21 PM »

I have seen these used on seatposts before and in peoples collections they had them listed a seatpost pads too. They do look like early goose pads tho.
Someone with the knowledge will answer im sure

Tefore · « **Reply #10 on:** September 22, 2011, 06:22 PM »

i have no idea what they were used for. not anything to do with the skyway platform is it?

Not a gyro cover.
TA's shipped as a F&F so potentially they could have had a gooseneck fitted.

Flyte made BMX pads for both doubleclamp stems and goosenecks and you didn't have to have a Skyway to buy them

. I can't believe anyone would think it is for anything else other than a gooseneck stem

. Really.

As I said it does look like a gooseneck, just I've never seen anyone build a skyway with one!!! Someone now has to pick up the gauntlet and build one

Here's a couple of Mongoose ones..

A yellow Flyte one..

A blue one...

Really
