1987 GT Pro Freestyle Tour

My only Freestyle bike...ever.   :P

I'll understand if you guys don't let me slide on the chain...when I was putting this one together...the brakes got me so frustrated that I couldn't even muster enough to cut a chain down...!!!

It is all original except for bar decals, seat post decal, and crank decals.

There are some great builds already this month.  This is more like bike of the year.  I have just finished my Streetbeat,  Well done to the other builders so far I like the DP the best (apart from my bike of course) but it is close,  Great work.  Good luck everybody.

NOS 1985 SKYWAY STREETBEAT

The story all started with a set of Green set of Skyway Brake blocks from EBAY a year or so ago.  From then on I was hooked on this Build.  I knew I wanted to do something different with the colours and wanted my Streetbeat to stand out.  I eventually sourced a NOS Frame and fork set in green then my plan was hatched.  I hope you like it.

(http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y370/brettypeeps/StreetBeat/Photo0196.jpg)

(http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y370/brettypeeps/StreetBeat/Photo0177.jpg)

(http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y370/brettypeeps/StreetBeat/Photo0194.jpg)

(http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y370/brettypeeps/StreetBeat/Photo0178.jpg)

The Spec.

Skyway Streetbeat.
Skyway EZ ii Bars.
Skyway Tuff ii.
Elina UL (Ultra Light) Seat In Red.
Dia-Compe Hinged seat Clamp In Chrome
A'me Round Grips in Red.
Skyway Tuff Pads In Green.
Dia-Compe 880/901's in Chrome.
Dia-Compe Tech 6 Levers with Locking Buttons in Chrome.
Savage Red Brake Cable.
Redline Fights Twin Pinch.
Redline Sealed Bottom Bracket.
Redline Recluse Chainwheel (44T) in Black and Silver.
YBN Chain in Green.
Panaracer freestyle tyres in Red.
Tioga Bear Trap2  Head set.
ACS Rotor.
ACS Rotor Stem.
Shimano SX Pedals.
Skyway Padset All NOS
The Obligatory Green Dice Dust Caps.

I have Nos Skyway Pegs Front and Back in Green and a set of NOS Dyno Fork Standers in Green but they are not in the photos.  The bike is all NOS excluding the Stem and Front Brake Caliper and they are off show Bikes

It is totally unblemished and the photos cant show how clean this Streetbeat is.  It almost seems Criminal to build this bad boy up.  But what the hell I have a new Streetbeat and I love the way it turned out.

For more photos go to http://s1030.photobucket.com/albums/y370/brettypeeps/StreetBeat/ (http://s1030.photobucket.com/albums/y370/brettypeeps/StreetBeat/)

I pick My next project up this weekend.   I hope it turns out half as nice as this.
