fuckin love that white skyway, what's the chrome bar thing on the top tube that extends over the tyre?
its a freestyle platform, the t/a was originally a race frame, but was used by a lot of riders for freestyle

Thats really nice that like..how much did he get for it?
I used to have a diamondback back in the day and it had moulded in pegs on the back and screwed on ones on the forks midway up, i used to have my skyway mags on and a layback post, only got rid of the frame last yr when i was moving out.I only found my mags and some old mongoose rims when my dad was moving some stuff out of his shed, i was happy as fuck that i'd never binned them.

Nice one again Sean.
Jules, you must have been really into it mate. Sounds like you certainly know your stuff. I didn't know the Skyway wheels could be broken. You must have been braver than I ever was.
I never had the balls or the skill to do any stunt stuff. I just rode mine as a normal bike and occassionaly visited a race course with my cousins out in the sticks for a few hairy laps.
Really wish i'd had the money for the kind of bikes I always wanted at the time, as like most good things I find appealing they seem to have got even dearer over time.
