skyway replica

[motomagII]

just built this just to keep me occupied while my next good frame turns up from usa .on ebay now as built just to pass time but i think it turned out well.shows me how good real ta could be ?'maybe soon

[theRuler]

what frame is that mmag?

[motomagII]

its a procraft ishiwata made frame

[theRuler]

can you get the procraft stickies for it?

it'd look cool either way, but better as a procraft!!!

nice shiny build though mang

are those a'me grips?

[motomagII]

yes ame grips .no decals for it so i decided to do ta replica as decals and padset easily available .also wanted to use descent frame and forks not some crap one .i believe them to be very good and the welds were immaculate very good

[theRuler]

i just bought a pair of those a'me grips. same colour!

[motomagII]

nice grips soft and strong last ages .i prefer mushrooms but these were laying around for while and so i used them .black mushrooms stayed in the garage

looks like a very long back end. not so keen on the seat.

[motomagII]

didnt the old race frames have long rear to keep front wheel down .correct me if im wrong sandro as my memory is s**t.seat was already here too thats why i used it would look okay on redline though

[Sanmarcopizza]

You're not wrong, old race bikes did tend to have longish rear ends for stability, but I was just comparing the length of the chain stay to the top tube. Looks like a bigger gap behing the BB than on my Robinson Amtrac, but the Robo has a 21" TT to offset the 17" rear end. Wasn't dissing it, just an obeservation.

[Sanmarcopizza]

I think maybe the seat jut needs sliding back in the rails, accentuating the short front end appearance. Ignore me, I m a miserable fecker.

Do u have the studded cap to go with tha seat...

[motomagII]

very funny scary .got the seat a whikle ago from lazy and didnt really like too much but when i used it it is comfortable as hell compared to a lot of old school .was chasing a elina ul but missed out so if anyone has got one give me shout .
