1984 Skyway T/A

American Patriot TA, Skys The Limit

here is my true GEM,the first bike i've build. everything is new old stock except chainring and 2nd Generation profile cranks but has been professionaly rechromed so its pretty much new. i removed the head tube decale and replaced it with an antique skyway emblem but i have another original headtube decale if i decide to change it. what skyway did to me, it can also do to you after a pretty penny on ebay.

Stunning. I salute your effort.
I can totally picture the rich kid that would have owned that BITD.
The only thing that bugs me is the hubs. They match the bike perfectly. But I dont remember red white and blue hubs back then. Just solid colored Bullseyes and maybe some with gold centers or silver centers seem to ring a bell. But if they made those back then then, the bike is perfect.
