Skyway TA 25th aniversary frame sets

[Paulo]

I was wondering if anyone has had an update from coloredtuffs.com (is his name Ed?). I understand he's got his hands full with a new baby but was hoping for some news.

I PM'd him a few weeks back and emailed the sales address on his site but haven't got a response yet. Also I saw the first fifty builds have moved from July to August.

Anyone heard anything. I know I should be patient...but I'm too excited. I've started sourcing the parts already

Ed can be really slow in returning emails!!!

i have paid in full for one of the first 50, i spoke to ed a couple of weeks ago and the farmes were on the way for powdering, but heard nothing since   

[Paulo]

Thanks matskybeat.

Did Ed approach you for the full funds or did you approach him? I'm keen not to loose out and as I've heard nothing since paying the deposit a few months back I'm getting a bit anxious. 

Cheers

Paulo ,

I merged your new thread with an existing one because there are numerous 25th Anni threads  .

hey guys...
 It's been awhile since I've been here... I've had my hands full.  New baby, and tropical storms have filled my life with lots of work and long nights!

Here's an update-
 The first 50 people on the list were contacted for completed payments a few weeks ago.  The framesets were welded, and are now at the powdercoaters.  Once the framesets are done, which should be VERY soon, I'll be driving down to South Florida to pick them up.  I'll then sticker the frames and forks, and box them up for shipping.

 I'll start contacting more people on the list again very soon for framesets 51 - 100.

 Thats' the latest info!

I never got an email.

Nor me, perhaps we made it into the next 50?

 has anyone had delivery of their 25th anniversary ta yet as it seems to have been a lot longer than the 11 or so weeks that they quoted. they also seem to be rather hard to get hold of as they dont ans their phone or return any emails.
has anyone heard anything from them?
cheers for any help.

The first batch of 25th Anniversary framesets are DONE!
I drove down to South Florida yesterday to pick them up from the powder coaters, and now I'm busy stickering them.
The frame boxes will be here within the next day or so and I'll begin shipping them out....


At my shop, ready for decals....

Unbelievable!

Just one thing......the totally aerodynamic decals need to be an inch away from the BB.

Ya know.... I have a photo from Skyway and the decals are where I have them on this frame.  Heck, I've always placed them there anyway on my frames so it was in clear view outside the chainring.
 BUT... after looking through all of the T/A pics on the VBMX museum, I'm seeing alot of them placed closer to the BB.
 These stickers were always applied by hand by different people, so I'm sure that the EXACT spacing varies from frame to frame, but I'm thinking now that the decal should be closer.  Luckily, the frame shown in the pic above is the only one I've stickered so far....


AL - if you sent in a deposit recently for the second batch, I haven't gotten around to printing out the orders yet, nor sending thank you notes.  I'll do so within the next day or so.

Deposit all paid up, just waiting for my next email now.....Can't wait 

Think the Mongoose Cali I was going to start on might have to wait

[magna13]

Damn They Look Good  , Its There Anything To Tell And Original And A 25th Anni Apart? I Know The Forks Are Different...

[jimmyp]

Can't wait to get mine 

[ColoredTuffs.com]

The bottom bracket contains the original serial number and date stamp from 1986, and we've added a "2008" stamp on the BB as well.  That's how you'll tell the difference.

[madall]

Still waiting ED!!! LOL

Stickers!!
