Re: 2009 Skyway T/A
Im afraid to add up all the reciepts.Yeah im in it around $550 for just the cranks and pedals.But worth the money for the look.I tried to make it look as old school as I could but wanted to use as many of the retro parts I could find to make a true retro skyway ta.Ive always loved the skyway ta's and just had to have one when I found out they where making 150 reissue frame sets.But SE's are still my favorite.

Well the frame is part of the 25th anniversary as you know.Looks like you have a few yourself.This is from the second batch of three.The second batch was finished in may.So even though they made the first batch in 2008 the second batch wasnt made till 2009.So I figured it is a 2009 model of the 25th anniversary frame set.

Re: 2009 Skyway T/A
You have truly done that bike justice. Excellent work.
What was the seat on the original T/A's I forget?
The Elina is a nice color match for sure though.
