I say that they changed in around 84 ish to the TA decal on both chrome and white so most chrome would have SKYWAY , most WHITE would have TA and some would have either

Rich

I subscribe to this theory too.

My chrome 84 had the "skyway TA" decal and the smaller fork decals which scary picked up on.

I brough this whole issue up on vintagebmx years ago.

I discovered them guys don't know fvcking sh!t and nor does bart or skyway.

perhaps they didnt think people would be picking over it with a microscope twenty years later.

I don't mind 'em not knowing, it's the crap they come out with...

Mine back in 84 was white and had a Skyway TA decal.

I bought my white TA NEW in 83 and still have it. It's a K series serial, curved brake bridge and has TA on the downtube but....

it wasn't an all in one sticker and seems to be made up using a standard downtube decal and a seat tube "TA" decal.

It has no TrueTemper decal, just an "All Chrome Moly Tube" decal in BLACK. The typeface is a lighter weight than the blue versions that come with the Skyway sticker sets kickin around today!

.... and another spanner to throw in too....

It's a white TA but is chrome plated underneath $:-\$

.... so were all the white TA's chrome underneath or what?

Maybe yours was painted white by the shop? The two part decals could confirm this. Mine deffo wasnt chrome underneath.

Possible I guess... but the guy at the shop I bought it from was pretty lame and I can't see him having the patience or skills to go to all that trouble $:-\$

I thought the K series curved bridge TA's were the Jap made early ones and they were all chrome?

it is chrome under the white

dannywhiteley · « **Reply #95 on:** June 24, 2009, 11:08 AM »

Overstock of the early framesets then as the white TA was released?

Or a bike shop had a few left and painted them up white, afterall white was (and still is) cooler (and I have a chrome one).

munners · « **Reply #96 on:** June 24, 2009, 11:15 AM »

Ive had loads of original white ones and they definitely didnt have chrome underneath.

I stripped one using Gasket remover and there was no chrome present.

Interesting. I had a NOS chrome one that had the fork decals upside down on one side!

I honestly dont think that there was a perfect logic as to how things were done bitd.
