Re: 1984 Skyway T/A XL
this is beautiful, but it looks weird without the tuffs!
raced BMX from age 8 to 19 (1977 to 1988). I broke many bikes, but my pro racer was a 1982 Supergoose, which I have replica of now. I was sponsored by Mcteague family/World of Wheels Team out of Chelmsford /Lowell, MA. I raced road bikes until 1993 & then went on to racing MTB DH. 15 + concussions & PCS changed all that. Started BMX racing again in 2010, 41+ Inter & 41-45 Cruiser for the LivWell BMX Team in the memory of my niece Olivia Moran. Selling off our race team bikes now and hoping to build some cool new/retro cruise and park bikes for my kids.

No way. Keep the spokes in my opinion (course I have spokes on my TA XL as well). They look different and fast. Love the white TAs. Nice work.

Thanks guys, the pic's don't do it justice, especialy the z-rims, they really jump out at ya in person, the red nipples hardly show up in the pics.
In an attempt to make everyone happy I have put up a pic of it with tuffs from before the build was quite done.

Re: 1984 Skyway T/A XL
I had both tuffs and Zs in my day, so I love them both...but a skyway frame should rock the tuffs on a Full Time basis! It looks insane with the tuffs! Great build.

Re: 1984 Skyway T/A XL
I love tuff's too and understand completely from a purest standpoint that a Skyway should have tuff's on it, but if ya'll saw this thing in person with the red white and blue Z's you might just change your mind
