the welds look nice and clean, did they have the knarling at the stem clamp?  also they don't have knarling on the cross bar unlike the painted later ones.....is that right?

cheers Rob  :daumenhoch:

seeing as the mk I EZ bars didn't have them, the early mk II's might not have either. I'm trying to remember if mine had them or not.

the mark II's didn't come out until 86, and I don't believe Skyway copied them off anyone else.

I aint ever seen Mk 2 EZ's without knurling on the cross bars.
Anyone remember Skyway EZ MK2 Mini Bars, Seen lots of standard MK2's on this site but not the mini's.
Hugo Gonzales ran them when he came to UK for Cherry Coke BMX Beat, nearly all of the UK skyway team ran them after his visit.
Carlo, Pepi, Karl Denton, Jason Davies etc. The mini bars also had the knurling.
