1984 Skyway T/A
1984 Skyway T/A
My actual original race bike frameset from 1984!
This build started off with my original "survivor" chrome Skyway T/A frame and fork set. (Yes... it's the original chrome!) I used a set of our re-release model blue sealed bearing Tuff Wheels with Cheng Shin Comp III tires. Skyway Tuff pedals, Tuff Neck spider and chainring, with 1-piece Takagi cr-mo cranks, as this is what most of us actually raced with at that time! Dia Comp MX1000 brake, cable, and 2 finger levers. Other parts include a Tioga heaset, CW Pro handlebars, laid back post, ACS clamp, 1986 "New York" State Plate by Zeronine, A'me grips and a Aero saddle. This build is pretty much a replica now of one of my first T/A's that I used to race in Pleasant Valley NY in the 80's.

Awesome! You must have mega long fingers to use a MX 2 lever.

Stunning Skyway! I'm beginning to wonder why I never picked one of these up back in the 80's

Sweet T/A. I have a 83 T/A and use to race around the neighborhood, we didn't have a track near were I lived. Looking to restore it. I have been trying to post it on the museum but I always get the, This page not available sign. Trying to post it soon so everyone could see it and give me some input on restoration.
Its not what place you come in on the track. Its just knowing that you finished.
Ride hard or go home.
