I do regret selling mine now. I rode it in the OS races at bournemouth and MK, it was a really nice bike. Think I'd go for an XL if i were to ever try for another though.


I want to touch ORB

i think that if you love a TA...... then you really LOVE A TA!  :smitten:

In my eyes they have an aura about them. I have often wondered why. Is it that the Skyway logo and its colours stand out so clearly in my mind from when i was younger? I just dont know.

The more i have got into this hobby the more i believe that Skyway are the most iconic bmx bike company and the TA the most iconic bmx bike.


I couldn't agree more, Nick.

I love 'em.  :daumenhoch:

I've got another here that i'm building up. No pics have been posted up on RAD yet though. I'm looking forwards to finishing it off.

I like a good TA too, always a great bike to do a build with. They just seem to have more scope than most bikes for a variety of what you can do and what works. As iconic as it gets.....

I've got some pics of a couple of mine, TA XL first then a regular white one

I also cant put my finger on why, but Skyway has always had an aura surrounding it.  Especially the TA, which must be the most beautiful f&f ever produced.  So simple, so clean and a true classic.

I did once own one, around the early to mid nineties, it was a survivor frame with genuine forks that I picked up off a lad I worked with.  I did a rough build up on it and sold it on for around £40 I think.  Regrets, i've had a few...

I'd love to own another, but doubt I ever will.  Its just something about the name, the logo, and the colours that looks so right. 

IMO you cant beat a white TA, as a result ive gone for the next best thing (that I can afford) and bought this for my next build... (got some white Tuffs coming to help recreate the classic look).

Nice Pete. NICE! :smitten:

At last we are starting to see the hidden treasure (like the quad the other day) that is always denied by you! ;D

Are they Red Shim DX's?  ;)

Thanks,
 Yes they are Tange forks. Look similar to the genuine ones. Going to have a look round for some genuine ones for when i do a restoration but for now they will do while i use it as a rider.
