Hi guys!

Just to clarify- this news is for the ORIGINAL 25th Anniversary frameset, NOT the retro 20" and 24" frames that we are working on.

Today has been a busy day trying to catch up on emails and general business stuff. I have not sent any emails yet, and I need to leave in about 5 minutes to go up to the BMX track for tonight's vending session up there, so the emails will go out late tonight.

The 25th Anniversary original Skyway T/A frame and fork sets are going to be $500 US dollars (about 250 pounds) each, and should be welded up rather soon. Skyway will have a production schedule for me in about 10 days.

As far as the color- we are still up in the air on if chrome is possible. We need to find enough tubing sets that are polished already, and we really do not have a number on how many sets that is right now. Secondly, we are still looking around for chrome platers, and cost.

It does look like the majority of frames will be white, however.

These frames will be 100% old-school geometry, exactly like the ones made up originally, all using original T/A tubing that was cut and formed in the early 80's. 18.5" top tube lengths only. These are EXACTLY like the ones made back then.

I will be sending emails out to everybody that is on the waiting list. We are selling 100 framesets on a first come, first serve basis according to the order in which people were added to the waiting list. If someone on the list decides to pull out, then the next person on the list will be pushed up to fill that spot, until 100 sets are spoken for. We have about 180 people that have emailed to be on the list, and now we need to see who still wants to be on that list.

We will start taking deposits in about 2 weeks.
I'll post more details later.
