well they aint got any prettier but they could always take a beating, at least the streetbeat wasn't as ugly as the trickstar-2

Looks like I will be selling my 2016 master for a beat then....

the haro master is a far nicer looking frame, why would you want get a streetbeat instead $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$

They going to make it into production Steve?

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #5 on:** April 01, 2017, 09:01 PM »

Yes Clint.

As long as the tests on the Prototypes are ok then expect to see them mid June.

I'll be having one (my names already down).....

Or as already said, buy a Haro. You could always get is signed too like everyman and his dog.

I will probably keep my master, as it is a great f&f. I am a massive Skyway fan and have a orange Ruffell tribute Beat, and a custom green and yellow Styler, hence I could see one of these in my collection.

Please don't tell me they opted for the cheap BB version and gone Euro on it?

No need for a coaster tab to be fitted either, as they are extinct.

Nice looking frame set though, just not my cup of tea

Yeah euro BB. I think the coaster tab was purely nostalgic.....even the 88 Beat didnt have one.

This was actually designed in the same office and on the same drawing board as the original TA and Beats, by the same engineer and designer Rein Stolz.

Looks OK that but I`d lose the coaster tab and bin the Euro BB shell for a mid.-it`s not a race frame.Are these longer than the originals?

Hey James, where you at the side of me the other day in a Black Navara (or similiar)?

Good man. Did you know that yours was used for measurements for the new one? Theyd lost a lot of the original drawings and so needed an original 88 to copy from.?

pickle · « **Reply #15 on:** April 01, 2017, 09:56 PM »

Yeah i remember you taking them mate, makes it that little bit more special

oldschoolace · « **Reply #16 on:** April 01, 2017, 09:59 PM »

Don't mind the coaster tab. Bound to be some lads wanting to run these in old school clothes.
Not a massive skyway fan but if this feels like a new school but looks old school I could be persuaded.

Surely your contribution earns you a free one Rob

Sure does

Does looks nice. I would build with reproduction parts.

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #19 on:** April 01, 2017, 10:27 PM »

Steve, you need to persuade them to lose that Euro BB shell. I know they are cheaper etc etc, but the BB's are not around for the shell, and when you think you have found a decent one, they are actually crap. I am using a Gusset on my TA at the moment, all seems well, but i have used 'others', and they didn't last at all. The bearings are too small, especially for Freestyle, buddy.

Please persuade them to go with a Mid BB

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #20 on:** April 01, 2017, 10:50 PM »

Best thing to do is comment on the thread on the Skyway page as i know Reins watching the comments with interest.

Gary72 · « **Reply #21 on:** April 01, 2017, 11:20 PM »

Not sure how well the rear brake will work, On the pics the posts are not even there but the mounts are and seem to be right on that sharp bend.
Not my cup of tea though.

gary4130 · « **Reply #22 on:** April 02, 2017, 12:13 AM »

liking that very much steve ,thanks for putting pics up

glad to see that its got a coaster tab-just to be different
will they be done in '88 colours?-love to get a red one
any idea on price mate?
how do i go about ordering one ?

MartyC · « **Reply #23 on:** April 02, 2017, 06:12 AM »

I'm liking that, thanks for posting up Steve

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #24 on:** April 02, 2017, 07:59 AM »

So Rein was apparently always going to put a mid BB on it anyway!! So that ones sorted.

I reckon coaster tab will stay, I hope so. Gives it that old School look.

It will be paint over chrome like the 88's.
Aqua and chrome, black and chrome and red and chrome.

Remember this is still at prototype stage and changes to the frame are still possible.

As for price im not sure if they know yet, I suppose it depends on the final tweeks and then they can work out the costs.
Ed at planet will I'm sure have the first batch for sale but I'm guessing once the distributor over here (Coyote) has them then I guess they'll go the usual channel, Alan's etc.

Mid June is the target for release but we'll just have to see.
It's at least a year behind schedule.
