***SKYWAY TA PIT BIKE (REPLICA) ***
« on: September 22, 2006, 06:31 PM »
This Mini Aero Burner originally belonged to my son and then my youngest daughter . . . they've both outgrown it now and it's been in the loft for the last few years so I thought I'd restore it as a pit bike with a twist of Skyway

BEFORE





AFTER















SPEC

Raleigh Mini Aero Burner F+F
Hatta MX100 alloy head set / Tange lock nut
Gen1 Skyway EZ Bars
DK freestyle stem
A'me Rounds
MX900 brake set with Tech III levers
Kashimax Aero
Suntour seat clamp
Skyway sealed bearing Tuff 16's
Kenda Whitewalls
Sugino AT 170mm crank set
Sugino 39T chainring
Shimano SX pedals

I think it's well cute . . . what d'ya reckon guys  :)

Thanks for the positive comment guys . . . it was a gamble but the Mini Aero lends itself nicely to a TA replica

Glad I did it though cause unfortunately I don't get to see my son anymore which is why I decided to turn it into a trophy reminder of the good times we had riding
