1983 Skyway T/A [SOLD]

I bought a complete T/A from RADBMX in January 2014 and swapped out some of the parts for those I had bought and traded especially for a T/A build. The frame and forks were already powder coated in white and look beautiful. The crowning glory of this bike, in my opinion, are the Sugino 400 cranks, in their fantastic OG chrome. The complete bike also came with an NOS red Kashimax Aero, NOS DC seat post clamp, mint Oakley 2 grips, NOS Tioga Bear Trap headset and the used, but nice Renthal bars and seat post. I decided to go with Red Araya 7X rims with Suzue hubs - these came off of my Redline 500A build, and are immaculate. The brakes are NOS DC MX1000s with Tech 3 levers. The Skyway Tuff pedal cages  and Pro Neck II stem have been re-anodised by Benny on OzBMX. The build was finished with a mint vintage pad and an NOS Haro Tech race plate. I sold this bike in June 2014, but saved the cranks for my PK Ripper rider.
