ID please - stickered as a Skyway Ta

[jerburner]

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

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

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

Thanks lk! I like it too 

Some nice parts. Subroutine stem, chainring and pedals.

What is up with the pink crank though

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  if you ever wanna get rid I'm interested in the powerdisk and chainring

 Suntour stem, chainring and pedals....

Looks like it is a Stratton Aero or a Stratton pro cat

Any more info on Stratton bikes

Thanks Jaymz

[Sid1972]

I had to resurrect my account too Glenboy...  ..... 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

"Looks like a Stratton Aero, popular in Australia and south east Asia" (->http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,162731.msg1625833.html#msg1625833)

.... 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

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

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