Almost there...1983 Skyway T/A
« on: January 25, 2014, 12:29 PM »
Having rinsed the shit out of my credit card to buy Rich's 'complete '83 T/A, I've made a few chnges. Nothing too drastic as it was a beautiful bike to begin with.

I've swapped the Tuff IIs for the Araya/Suzue wheel set off of my Redline. I'm going red with the Skyway pedals, red with the chain ring. I'll also be swapping the Flo Panel for a Haro Tech, and I've added a red Pro Neck II stem that came from Rich too. What with the black on the Renthal bars and Skyway pedals, I'm going black with the cables too, leaving only the Skyway logo in blue.

That looks lovely mate. As you've said, Rich had done a top job on it already, but I'm glad to see your touches have in no way taken that away.  :smitten:
