1983 Skyway T/A
My first BMX bike was an 1983 Skyway TA. Although this is not an exact replica some of the parts are very similar.
This is an 5-83 date coded Skyway TA in original chrome, same as the first BMX bike that I bought from a friends brother. Only problem is some pitting of the chrome on the forks but you have to be up close to see it. While not exactly like the one I had BITD some of the stuff is similar. I had 2nd gen profiles with TI spindle then and switched between white tuffs and red Araya's in 20X1.5 size (yes I was much lighter then LOL). GT laid back post. I've been riding her around the neighborhood and doing some small tricks for my kids to see. I hope to take her to the track next year and race ABA for the first time.
Old bikes need love too, get them off the carpet and ride!

NO!!! the tuffs are perfect. This is one of my favorite Skyways on here. Nice job, that's one kick butt bike.
