AlansBMX Resto Show - 82 Skyway T/A - Episode 1

Welcome to the first episode in a new series from us here at AlansBMX, The AlansBMX Resto Show, where we will be showcasing special bikes we are working on.
We have been sent this 1982 Skyway T/A from a customer to be restored and refinished to how they want it. First step, strip it down and see what we have.
Initially Tom was only going to do a write up but quickly realised that we should bring you all along for the ride!

Tioga CompIII tires would be appropriate with Redline Flight single pinch 401 cranks .

Re-annodising will ruin the overall finish of that seat clamp and stem. I would personally source another pair and sell those, as they are sought after in that colour.

[@alansbmx]

Our Re-annodiser knows what they are doing and have done stuff for us before without any issues, they always come out great, although we have seen some horrors in our time from others. You'll find out on a later episode ;)

[@Londonhellboy]

@@alansbmx You will never reproduce that colour and tone with todays finishing. I have been building/restoring/collecting Bmx for years, and have never seen anything redone that comes close the original finish. But each to their own.

8:01 Get some latex gloves on. Park Tool MG2L. If your using break cleaner or rust remover to protect your hands

[@adamelliott3528]

Or just don't dip your hands in it and wash them afterwards.

I have some unmarked yellow 5 spoke wheels with a Bendix 76 coaster brake in the rear. They have some writing in red marker on the inside of the wheel. They look just like Skyway Tuff wheels but they have no Skyway markings. Could these be the the 1977 Tuff Wheels that were used on the Schwinn Scrambler bikes?
