Ok was bit bored this morning so decided to buid up my Skyway TA which i purchased a while back.
It was chrome but in real bad condition when i bought it, so it was sent away to SBD's for a new paint job, while i looked around for some nice new bits for it.
Anyway have a look and tell me what ya think.....
Parts List:
1984 Skyway TA Frame and Forks.
Skyway Race Bars ( genuine ones not copies )
Nos Blue Araya 7X Wheels
Nos Blue Tange 125 Headset
Blue Tuff Neck Stem
Nos Blue Maxy Cross Cranks
Nos Blue Sugino Chainwheel
Nos Blue Dia Compe 890's with Prebent Levers
Nos Blue Kashimax Aero Seat
Nos Bue Suntour Seat Clamp
Nos Blue VP Pedals
Nos Blue Knarly Knobbleys Tyres
Nos Blue AME Tri's

Don't think its turned out too bad to be honest, well pleased.....

Very nice.

I like the square corner Tuf Neck. It looks very nice - is that original finish or has it been re-anodised?
