So, I noticed Planet are saying they'll be available from Jan/ Feb 2013, is anyone actually going to be ordering one?
$500 for chrome f/f and bars.

What is $500 in Sterling after tax etc?

I'd love one. Too soon before/after Xmas for me.

Thanks Skyway.

I'd have paid 3 times as much if it had come in a nice box

What will be the total price to your door though?!?!?

mattuknc · « **Reply #10 on:** November 30, 2012, 08:11 PM »

delivery was $75 on top for the 24, + the 40 odd on import tax. It'll probably work out about £450 for f/f and bars. $:-\$

I fancy one, build it up and ride it down the skatepark and pretend I was Billy Stupple BITD.....

Doesn't look a bad bit of kit really, bit overpriced, but they know they'll shift them.

A nod to the past, with some modern bits. Is it that much different to BMW doing the Mini, apart from 2 extra wheels.

I'm still not buying one though, but i'm not buying a real one either.

I wouldn't worry about it coming on time it'll most likely be October at the soonest before they turn up ,,,,,,,, plenty time for you to save up

Ordered. Each to their own, but I for one think it is awesome that the old companies are doing these and making newer versions of old classics. There's a place for old-old school and these as well IMHO

Nice one. Be cool to see what you do with it.

If Im being honest & had the spare funds I would have one...

muttley · « **Reply #18 on:** December 01, 2012, 08:59 PM »

Coming into the UK in January through the official importers. Got mine ordered through grind bmx.

So if I read it right Matt, it's frame, fork and bars for $500 + $100 postage + customs charge of around $70

$670 = £419

I think this frame set will look awesome with my Retro Skyways on

Hey guys! Here's an update on these framesets-
WHITE 20" and 24" T/A XL framesets, and bars arrived at Skyway in California, USA last week. They are being inspected, and stickered up right now. I will begin shipping these out around January 18th from PlanetBMX.
CHROME 20" and 24" T/A XL framesets, and bars, will be arriving to Skyway late this month, and will begin shipping out from here at PlanetBMX around Febuary 25th.
