Re: 1983 Skyway T/A
Another piece of art work from Chromey. Once again you've outdone yourself. So rad to see a "freestyle guy" nail a race bike like the past couple you've built. I'm absolutely honored to be a part of this one. I just love all the OG condition parts used and the tires are off the hook. You, my man, are an artist.

Re: 1983 Skyway T/A
Gorgeous bikes you got there. When were these 1st gen Profile cranks made? Didn't Profile make them for Hutch albeit with the "Hutch" stamped on them?

Thanks.
Those are actually first gen Bullseye cranks actually, not Profiles. Made in the early 80s.
Similar looking to profiles, but pretty different in construction - these are 2 piece cranks with a completely hollow tubular chromo spindle.

Re: 1983 Skyway T/A
Just found another random pic of my old T/A out in the wild at Summer Slam 6.
Figured I'd add it here:
