Thumper, I never pegged you for a collector/restoration guy on the bike side of things, didn't figure you had the time quite honestly.

But I have to admit that is a nice Rebuild. Here is a question, Which came first, Maui and son using the Four geometric patterns or Zeronine. Who coppied Who?

I would think Zeronine was first, not sure though. STU, we gotta ahng out more. I've done several bikes over the years. Must the time I build them and sell them off. The build is part of the fun. I stumble on to lots of parts and bikes in all my travels. I started colecting way back in' 89. I have had ton's of stuff over the years.

Nice! I've got all the parts for my T/A, now I just need to build it! Maybe over Thanksgiving.

I need that "holeless" stem pad! I had one awhile ago and sold it - now I need another one.

Looks great. The T/A always look classy to me.

Sweet, you did a nice job. I just about have mine completed as well. Need a seat and a few other things.....

That looks great..I love the plate..You'd never plaster a NOS plate with that amount of 80's surf stickers..Wicked..

Nice set up!

I'll tell ya what I think. I think that bike is kick ***!! WOW that one is cool.

Sweet job...I think the nice thing is, using a part(s) from your original ride from bitd, adds a bit of sentimental value..Love it.

thats ace thumper - quality pics as always too.

Sweet ride there.

I guess smaller tires would improve the aerodynamic thing! Superb bike by the way!

nice ...never saw i skyway i didnt like...

Nice ride Thumper.
Looks ready for the track.

I have always loved the white frames. From any manufacturer. Nothing better than a clean white bike.

wow... that looks soooo sweet! The Graphites with flange covers really make that thing look like a very serious racer from the 80's.
Good job!!

WOW I knew that those bars would look good on an TA. So glad that you could use them.

Very clean and very sweet Thumper.

Gotta love those graphites.
