Hello all,
I'm after a pair of skyway pro bars but i'm not sure if i find any if there is any way to tell that they are genuine. Has anyone any clues to help me out??

Thanks
James

Pic's would help and tell the story on them ........put them up on here

I dont have a pic from the seller yet, or a price. He has two pairs but i think he wants around $500 for them which is a lot of cash if they turn out to be fake! I will try and get pic's and then put them up in here for ya tohave a look at.
Thanks
James

who is the seller, that might help too..

uk seller, vert-ego. WWW.vert-ego.com if i remember right

The bars should have a very similar look/bend to GT pro bars (28x8) with a thinner cross bar and two stipes of knurling where the stem clamps.





I should have gotten a better picture of them before I put them on the bike.

Here's a few pics of the Skyway bars.... I pulled these out of Skyway's warehouse last year. (There are no more there.... so don't be calling them! LOL....

dang that's a big sweet bar!

rarified air there

shoot, then what are these, look the same, same measurements, but "no" knurling, did i get screwed? or were there some made with no knurling? someone please help me out, i traded hutch pedals and os flites full wraps and the "better" bb, !!!!!!

How come you did'nt go all the way with the blue/red color theme ???
one blue, and one red tuff wheel, then red/blue tires ???

does anyone know what i might have then? i'm 28 x 7" 's but almost exactly like my gt pro bars as far as bends etc, my crossbar is smaller in circumference, but looks a little bigger than the one in the pics. my pics are one post back^...THANX!

For me it's a GT PRO...? not a Skyway race bar.
The Skyway is taller with a thinner cross bar.

Outside diameter : 21 mm
From the stem to the crossbar : 175 mm
(from the center of the tube to the center of the tube)

The skyway race bar is 730 mm Width.

well i actually have 2 sets of gt pro bars, 1 from the early eighties un-stamped, un-knurled, and a set of early 90's stamped and knurled, both of these have bigger crossbars than the "skyway" bars, so i know they arent g.t bars, someone suggested s.e. bars, but the tube bending angles look different..i'm really stumped now, any other suggestions, any more help would be appreciated, also, should i go back to the guy that sold them to me and let him know that these are not skyway bars?

Patterson's looked a lot like GTs, and I think were unknurled.

well that wouldnt be bad if i had a set of pattersons instead!...lol....how much do they go for? does anyone know the measurements? these are 28 1/2 wide and 7 height to top of crossbar.

anyone???....lol

That crossbar looks to big to be skyways, But I have heard of some earlly unknurled bars
, crossbar looks GT to me
