Well my road trip started at 6.45am this morning and travelled the two and a bit hours to Newcastle from manchester.

Deal done and a return trip i now introduce my number 8 Beat to the collection.

It's an 87, ridden half a dozen times tops. All original factory spec with the elusive tyres fitted.
The Tuffs on this look brand new. No wear at all to the serial number.
This will be my Holly's rider. She doesn't know yet as it will be part of her birthday present.
I need to source an Odyssey Caliper and some bits of the rotor and ad990 otherwise it's all done.

Cheers Steve.

nice one Steve

Is it a skyway rotor you are looking for bits for?

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #2 on:** February 07, 2015, 03:02 PM »

Yes Clint, the spinmaster 2 with the double cable rather than the original Spinmaster with just one brake cable

They're like lost homing pigeons.

How are you finding these Steve?

Great score.

Seek and you shall find Dan........

I got this one off the same guy I got my blue and grey one off last month.
Top bloke. Promised he'd keep it for me until I saved up.

I've got a silver oddy 1999 if its any good for the front steve?

I've got a 990 I can put on it when it comes down to me as well

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #7 on:** February 07, 2015, 03:54 PM »

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #8 on:** February 07, 2015, 04:07 PM »

Nice one Rob, I'll take the Oddy caliper off you if you want to get rid.

Great find! It's a shame it's not a Spinmaster 1 you're after. I saw on Facebook the other day that they had found some NOS ones in the Skyway factory:

I have an OG chrome one with original white cables. All in good condition, just missing the lower hanger/top headset bearing cup part.

I won't be using it myself but wouldn't know what to ask for it if you were interested. Seen NOS go for silly money but obviously this isn't that. $:-\$

Nice find by the way. It does amaze me where some of you guys manage to turn these beaut's up from

I search and search for the parts I'm after and very infrequently get lucky, maybe because I'm not on Face Ache

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #13 on:** February 08, 2015, 12:27 PM »

Yes id heard that planet had a load of spinmaster 1's.

I'll take a photo of the bits I have and see if we can sort something out with the bits you have picklez.

This wasn't a facebook find. This was actually put up on ebay. I was sat at home and just happened to click refresh as I was searching 'skyway'.......boom up it came, hit buy it now immediately. I met the guy and he had two, this one and a blue and grey one. I actually bought the blue one off him first and he said if I wanted this one he would keep hold of it for 8 weeks and if I sorted the money it would be mine..........it's now here.

Damn fine pick up there

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #15 on:** February 08, 2015, 12:56 PM »

This is what I have....upper cable and the Middle part of the spinner.

If anyone has the bits I need give us a shout please.

Steve

another nice find Steve, good to see you have a security guard watching over the precious parts (awesome looking kitty BTW)

Picklez · « **Reply #17 on:** February 08, 2015, 07:19 PM »

Hi Steve.

These are the parts I have. Sorry seeing what you have it looks like we're overlapping, so probably not what you're after.

Good luck with finishing her off though. Really nice one for your collection.

Thanks

Pete

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #18 on:** February 08, 2015, 07:22 PM »

Pete can you pm me a price just in case all my other options fail.

Cheers steve.

oldschoolace · « **Reply #19 on:** February 08, 2015, 07:44 PM »

Just had a look through my history Steve and it was a gen 1 I had seen bits for

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #20 on:** February 08, 2015, 08:00 PM »

No probs Clint, thanks for looking anyway.

At a push, as it's going to be a rider anyway, I could stick an odyssey gyro on it.
It's era correct, just not factory correct.

This will be my Holly's rider so I don't think she's going to be picking it to pieces on factory spec parts!!! 😄😄
