Last set I saw went for £49 quid . I have never owned a skyway so worth even less to me :-(

ozone · « **Reply #9 on:** December 10, 2012, 10:00 AM »

A couple of year back these were going for over £100,

Jt · « **Reply #13 on:** December 10, 2012, 04:20 PM »

are they doing repro ones to go with the framesets?

got to be 80 quids worth as they stand.

less if the repros are en route.

hunterdubber · « **Reply #14 on:** December 10, 2012, 05:32 PM »

I sold a set a few years ago £80

I think they are a type of stainless , I actually pm'ed Johnny Chopper Gary at the time just before he closed his website down .

As I wanted to know if they were strong enough for racing with rather than just show items .

The answer was yes by the way

AKGOFF · « **Reply #15 on:** December 10, 2012, 06:06 PM »

A set of proper / repop Skyway race bars went for about £80 odd on eBay the other day. I presume JC ones would be less.

kungfunky · « **Reply #16 on:** December 10, 2012, 06:29 PM »

I sold a set about a month ago for £60 posted. Got them in a bulk deal about a year ago but never really wanted them.

just took off my TA in favour of some era correct GT pro bars and thought these may be worth £80ish, i'll hang to them for mow until someones desperate....

brummie · « **Reply #18 on:** December 10, 2012, 07:06 PM »

nice bars
were only available raw i believe and about a ton to have them to your door from oz so chrome would set you back 135 ish? new
i paid 80 for mine from chris
all hand made by gary ( jonny chopper ) from the finest materials and very nicely made
i have a few jc items and love all of them

i would much prefer these to the overseas made repop skyway race bars but each to our own

Next thing you know Dave will be saying "I actually pm'ed Johnny Chopper Gary at the time just before he closed his website down"

If you were going to put some non OG bars on a OG bike, why would you pay anything like £80+ Vocal do some very nice chromo bars 28x8 (or 8.5) in chrome for £30, pm me if you want some.
