Lord, given the sheer numbers of framesets, wouldnt it make sense to ship out some eaxh day starting LAST WEEK? As like 10 or 20 are decaled....ship those beeotches out to FL, only to have to be shipped across the country AGAIN to us west coasters
No, shipping would be 30x more that way. It's just not cost effective to send them over in small numbers.

Hey Ed, what brand of chain tensioner do you have on the Skyway that you add to the museum?
What is everyone else using? Or if someone can point out the post number(s) that this was already covered. ![]()
Looking for 1988 Haro Group 1 RS1, RS2, and RS4 frame and forks. Straight top bar. Late build 87 serial numbers okay only with original 88 color schemes.

Re: SKYWAYs NEW BIKE; Wa wa?
Another parts question: Will all the new 24" stock cruiser wheels with cassette hubs from Excess, Bombshell, Profile, etc. work on the bike? I see no reference to hub spacing for the frame/fork.

Race bars are coming with the framesets. I have not gotten any of those in yet, therefore no photos have been posted.

I can not sit still. I have been tested for A.D.D. and A.D.H.D. and have neither. I don't need coffee, I just need a B.M.X. or surfboard to consistently ride and I'll be happy.

Hey Ed, how many f/f sets do you anticipate having left after you fill all outstanding orders? I noticed you stopped taking orders online. Are we talking dozens, or single digits?

I'm not sure yet.
The BIG issue here is that about 200 customers have asked to modify their orders, so I had to shut down sales on EVERYTHING so I can try to accommodate customers order changes. Not exactly how I wanted this to go, and it's taking days of my time to change each order.
Once the dust settles, I'll make available what I have left!
I know that we are single digits on items like v-brake forks, and chrome cruiser bars, and maybe 20-40 on the other bars. We should have both white and chrome framesets- about 20-30 each perhaps.
In any case, the numbers are so close that I had to shut down sales until I know what will be remaining.
