Hey guys.....
Had a conference call with Ken and Rein over at Skyway tonight. We will have a solid update on manufacturing and delivery dates next weekend, but here's what we will probably be confirming.
Production should begin soon, and we have finalized our order numbers. We are making 700 framesets of the 24"TA XL's, which is almost double of our original projection. I believe the factory will need 45 days time to get that order done, and it will be about 20 days transit time to land over at Skyway's factory in California for individual QC inspection. The breakdown will be 70% chrome, and 30% white, with about 70 of those with front v-brake mounts. We WILL be getting in extra forks of both colors.
We have final tests scheduled at an independent lab next week for the new prototypes that arrived here last week. If all the numbers are where we want them to be, the "button will be pressed" to start production.
Handlebars are being made during this time period as well. We are making close to 1,000 sets of bars in chrome and white. Pro race, Pro cruiser, and we have just added a third style "retro" cruiser bar to our lineup.
3-piece frameset pad samples will be completed next week by Flite. These are original design Skyway padsets in white, with the red and blue graphics.
That's the latest news!
Thanks to everyone for your support!
