Incredible pics Martin, best looking Skyway ever!!!

Your killing me Martin. That bike just rocks hard!

Looks great Martin did you see my 1983 Skyway Chrome on the who's from Oz page>??

that is the nicest Skyway I have seen in ages....awesome job!

Great Red white and Blue Skyway. Perfect bike with a the real Old School look. It's the same bike of my old friend fabrice in 1984. only the skyway Tuff wheels are not the same. Back in the 80 's !!!

That ROCKS

I had to go for a 2nd look and that is the BEST skyway TA i have ever seen and the parts WOW

Beautiful! Nice work!!!

Don't forget to check out the cheesy home page:

Unreal. THAT is my definition of a Skyway !!!!!!

Show 'em how it's done!
Pure art, man, I love it!

That's one for the calendar. Nice work.

Now that is the way a SKYWAY is suppose to look. Great job with it.

beautiful bike. nice to see a plate on it too. Too many builds go without them and they look incomplete to me, kinda like not having a padset on them.

That TA is perfection! Well done

Nice build it looks perfect I have 2 TA's one I just got back from a old friend that I sold to 17 years ago it was a basket case but it is back to its former glory

Totally Awesome....

Nice bike! and nice pictures! I had to play around with them...





That has to be the nicest Skyway I have ever seen.

John,

Awesome effects! Thanks!!!

Hey, I'm not 100% happy with the photography for this and several other bikes. Is this something you can assist with (for a fee of course)?

I'm looking to increase focus, remove shadows, enhance colours etc. LMK

email: martin@martin-bike.com

Thanks!

Martin

Yeeeeahhhhhhh. If I built a skyway, it would be just like that.

Actually, anybody that can do wonders in Photoshop I'd be interested to speak with.

I have lots of photos of other bikes - these also need to be updated on my website:

www.martin-bike.com

Anybody that can help with both or either of these tasks, please contact me:

martin@martin-bike.com

Thanks!

Martin

Speechless.

Martin,
What a great looking bike.
I am currently rebuilding my TA from 84, Hope it turns out half as nice as yours. I like the 84 on the plate.

Good luck with it! Be sure to share when she's done.

Martin

9.9 out of 10

you get the other .1 when you dial in the front brake.

seriously, one of the best ive ever seen.

Tone,

Thanks for the score!

This was my first attempt at shooting. This and the other 3 bikes I shot will be reshot. Got lots of others in line also.

Shooting was a lot more difficult than I originally anticipated . . .especially when striving for perfection and capturing the essence of the bikes.

Martin

martin nice, heres mine.

Eric,

Doesn't show on my screen. Can you post again?

Martin

Damn.....I love this bike. It is perfect.

If I ever do a rebuild, it will be one of these.

n20, thanks for your help, hope some day ill fig why i cant get a pic up here, hope every body likes it, yours rocks i like the dx pedals on there i might have to make some changes, thanks again eric..

Nice builid, every part is perfection!

Nice one Eric. Sorry didn't catch you, I'm on a different time zone!

I don't think you need to change your pedals. Your Skyway pedals suit your build well. Love it.

I'm saving my Skyway pedals for my chrome TA build. Got lots of other bikes to show in time . . .

Martin

martin, thanks for the nice complaments on it, and the buff bike as well, ill , probably keep the skyway pedals on it ,only because of the price of nos dx pedals, im still lookin for a blue set of nos dx pedals ,lookin foward to seeing your other builds..

Hey Eric, those aren't DX pedals on my T/A, they're MX. I take this bike on the track, which is why I haven't got expensive parts on it.

n20, they look good, they hade me fooled, i rode my skyway the other day,dont like the feel of the skyway pedal, ill have to get a set of mx to ripe around the yard....

nice like the rim's better on them my self but it's par for the course to have the mags.

N2O, good to see you ride her.

Martin, that thing is flawless.
Nicest TA I've ever seen.

Hey Mike,

Thanks but unfortuantely I can see the flaws. LOL. The bike will be fine tuned and reshot.

Martin

Juicy! Gotta love the red, white, and blue.

What cranks are those on the TA with the white Tuffs?
