1982 Skyway T/A
1982 Skyway T/A
Japan made KB serial 1982 TA F&F all original chrome.
I recently took my other 82 apart to use all the black parts on my new Panda then built this one up with a blue on chrome color scheme.
The chrome is all original, frame decals are repro but I left the old faded fork stickers on for nostalgia. Most of the parts are clean survivor except the plate, chain ring, pedals & grips were NOS.
Some of my favorite parts are the original non pinch Flight cranks, Redline stamped Pro size V bars and the Suntour sealed hubs in Pro Class rims.
In the future I'd like to upgrade the headset to a blue ano Tange or Hatta.
Looking for some reasonably priced Revcore parts for a Hutchins build.
Always looking for nice SKYWAY parts & gear.

Very cool bike. I like the Pro class on there instead of Skyway Tuffs as well.
