1986 Skyway T/A
1986 Skyway T/A
This is one of the first framesets built with the leftover NOS tubing dated with serial for 1986. In 1986 Skyway halted production of race bikes to fill the need of the booming freestyle market. So the cut and formed tubing sat in the back of the Skyway warehouse until circa 2004. This frameset is among some of the first sets welded to ensure quality of the 1986 NOS tubing. Ed at Coloredtuffs sold about about 20 of these unstamped 2008 versions. This frame is NOT stamped 2008 as the later 25th issues and these forks have the arrow cutouts in the fork dropouts. (Thanks Ed for the info)
Here is a rundown of the parts:
*new Skyway TUFF II's with sealed bearings
*reissue Skyway Pro race bars
*Skyway reproduction pads
*Kenda K50 20x1.75 skinwall tires
*NOS ACS Stoker stem
*NOS ACS Stoker seat/hollow post
*NOS ACS Stoker seatpost clamp
*ACS Stoker pedals
*Dia-Compe silver 890 rear brake
*Dia-Compe silver brake lever
*super NICE SR tubular crank
*MINT 44T TUF Neck sprocket
*KMC 410H black oxide chain
*reissue A'ME rounds with Flite donuts
*Tange headset
*Tange bottom bracket
