ID please - stickered as a Skyway Ta
« on: March 21, 2012, 08:57 PM »
Hi - this is my first post on RAD  :)
Not sure if this is the correct section for this thread.

I have a few burners but picked this up a few years ago and it has been sitting in the garage gathering dust.
It has TA stickers but not a TA.

I asked on BMXMuseum a few years ago and someone suggested a 'Road King' (mainly in Australia) but someone else said 'Stratton'.
Anyway there are a few nice part on it so I am going to clean it up at last.

Anyone know what it is? I bought it in Dublin so may well have come over from the UK in the 80's

Thanks for your help  8)

Do you know if the f+f are cro-moly tubing? looks to me like a Dragon from bitd,but  it would have to be cro-moly tubing,but the welds look neat enough :daumenhoch:

Yes - cro-moloy tubing. There are a few bikes like it in the other link posted.

Thanks lk! I like it too  ;)

Some nice parts. Subroutine stem, chainring and pedals.

What is up with the pink crank though ;D

Must lookup some Akisu bikes as mentioned in the other thread.
Someone mentioned an 'Acorn freeway'.
This bike has Acorn Freestyle mags

It's not an acorn freeway mate, they're a freestyle bike  :daumenhoch: if you ever wanna get rid I'm interested in the powerdisk and chainring ;)

I had to resurrect my account too Glenboy...  :daumenhoch:..... I think it expired a while ago.
Just started a new thread with a picture of the Stratton Super Aero that Jaymz sent me.
Would love to find out what bike this is and try to get some decals

.... you see these alot on here. Most are trying to look like smth else so it would be cool to bring at least one of em back to original spec -- piece of our generations bmx history :daumenhoch:

good luck - hope some people share what they remember about STratton bmx.

best guess with decals is ..............pm our decal Kaiser: Del.
