Key Features
Extra details from BMX International general manager Scott Shepherd:
"These are not exact copies of the original TA completes or even
frames. That would be disrespectful to the collectors out there who do
have the original TA Frames. These are 2022 made frames built using the
same teardrop TA tubing as in the 1980’s, however there are slight
changes.
We have redesigned these frames from the 2012 rerelease, back
closer to the way they were in the 80’s. The 20” version now features a
21.5”TT, (24” has a 22” TT) full Chromoly teardrop TA Tubing, 1”
Threaded fork steerer, USA BB set, side pull calliper brake mounts and a
25.4mm seatpost tube. The TA fork and Handlebar are also full Chromoly.
Each bike and Frameset will be a numbered product to give this new
complete, a mystique of its own.
It will never be a genuine original 80’s model, but will be an
affordable collector bike, or a fun retro all day get around bike. For
those collectors who do have the genuine product, please don’t think
this is undermining you. You have the original real deal from the late
Chuck Raudman/Ken Coster days. This new 2022 version is a collaboration
of Ken Coster and Myself and draws on our 40 year business and personal
relationship, which I believe would be the longest business relationship
in BMX worldwide.
This project is driven by passion, not money and we hope we make
someone happy to know they can own a genuine Skyway bike themselves. If
anyone wanted to see our Passion for BMX, they just have to watch our
Micro series of Documentaries released in 2018 on our YouTube channel.
Owning a Skyway is not like just owning a bike. You are investing in BMX History that will be part of this sport for eternity."
