Skyway TA stickers
« on: January 21, 2006, 11:48 PM »
Is someone going to explain why some TA's have 'Skyway TA' on the downpipe and others have just 'Skyway'.

That is a good question.

I was thinking that the other day.

Who can shed some light?

I think it's a year thing, a bit like the curved and straight rear brake bracket tube, they just changed a bit with time.

Chrome frames have "SKYWAY"

White frames have "SKYWAY TA"



Hope this helps  ;)

Not sure you're right there, but if you are there's a lot of bikes in the museum section with the wrong sticker sets on ???

Al ot of the bikes in the museum, including mine, have been re-powder coated and new stickers applied, so they may be the wrong stickers  :o

 he is right about the chrome just having the skway and not the T/A bit on the end.
i've still got the bmx action bike when the T/A was first tested.
and that just has skyway on the frame sticker.

I think they look much better with the simple Skyway sticker. Rather than having the additional TA part.

Everyone knows what they are so why bother advertisting. Keep it simple.

I bought my TA decals from Biagio and his description mentioned that "SKYWAY TA" was for white and "SKYWAY" was for chrome

Just checked the Skyway site !!! CLICKETY CLICK !!! and found these





"TRUE TEMPER" sticker goes at the bottom of the seat tube

how early.

Mine is an 83 number 426 that is quite early.

It has never been restored.

Not yet but it needs a rechrome. Next month it is gonna get a new suit and the stickers will be just as it was before it went in.

I have owned my 1983 TA from new and it was originally chrome with the "SKYWAY" downtube decal and the "TRUE TEMPER" seat tube decal

Hopefully I have the correct downtube decal now or I'll have to go shopping again  :-\
