Re: 1983 Skyway T/A
Hi there,
Pleased you like it; took me a while to decide on the spec and colour combination (involving heavy discussion with retro_70's), and then even longer to source all of the NOS parts, but it has turned out just as i'd hoped.
markyp - you are correct, this is the 'Freeze' bike that went on the 'Bay over the summer. I couldn't resist such a low serial number, which is partly why i really went to town on the spec for this build.
plymouthfan - will be adding my other bikes on here shortly

Re: 1983 Skyway T/A
nice bike...but lower that stem down into the headtube.
i know you probably wont be riding that much, but that'd be really dangerous to ride it like that.
