It's not the Skyway bit as he states replica, however the GT part sucks. I pointed out to him that it was neither a Skyway nor a GT he sent this reply:

Dear nickswan1,

Hence the word believed

- potato37

So after pointing out it was no longer BELIEVED this followed:

Dear nickswan1,

Not by you but thousands others if it's not for you stop looking and do something less boring instead..... Why don't you !!!

- potato37

Feel free to bother him some more

Now I've received this:

Dear nickswan1,

Right owe captain intense.... Google the words "replica" and "believed "..... If you can't work that out as being honest I doubt you could even ride a old school piece...enjoy the sun by your PC

Darren KAP · « **Reply #10 on:** May 28, 2012, 07:56 PM »

i've just mailed him , it went something like this -

You state you have owned this from the start , i find this hard to believe as it's clear to see you don't have a clue as to what you have as it's neither GT or a Skyway and doesn't even have Tuffs (wheels)

i'm really going to p155 him off to night , wonder if we all do it enough will he pull the listing

I did chuckle at this...

On 28-May-12 at 20:00:05 BST, seller added the following information:
AS AN EBAY MEMBER STRUGGLED TO UNDERSTAND THE LISTING DUE TO BEING AT HOME WITH NO DOUBT HIS TROUSERS ON THE DECK WATCHING "BMX BANDITS" ( EBAY MEMBER "TRAVISBARKINGMAD") THE LISTING STATES, THIS IS BELIEVED TO BE A GT, I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT A GT BUT THAT'S WHAT I WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE. THE BMX WAS PURCHASED AT HOT WHEELS IN 1985 IN CHRISTCHURCH, ALSO IT CLEARLY STATES REPLICA OF A SKYWAY, ITS NOT A SKYWAY "WELL DONE"..... IT HAS NOS PADS, DECALS ETC, THE WHEELS ARE NOT TUFFS SKWAYS BUT REPLICAS AGAIN AS LISTING POINTS OUT.... IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE LOOK OF THE BIKE .....JOG ON ..... ANYONE IS WELCOME TO SEE THE BIKE BEFORE BIDDING.... ABUSIVE EMAILS WILL BE DEALT WITH.

replicas are worth more anyway

NathanRelton · « **Reply #19 on:** May 28, 2012, 09:00 PM »

If it wasn't for the decal on the top tube I would have been fooled........

Those angled tuffs look sweet, probably specially made for him
