Hi all, after a while away with building a house i thought i would pop back and share my old school BMX. I bought the Skyway and GT from a friend and gave them both an overhaul as they were pretty shoddy. The Skyway 86 is pretty much oem parts, all but a repop seat, from this: Attachment: skyway streetbeat.JPG [ 326.22 KiB | Viewed 6477 times ] To this: Attachment: Skyway.jpg [ 251.22 KiB | Viewed 6477 times ] GT Performer, mainly repop parts, 88 or 89 still not sure, from this: Attachment: gt bmx.JPG [ 349.32 KiB | Viewed 6477 times ] To this: Attachment: Gt Performer.jpg [ 185.76 KiB | Viewed 6477 times ] SE Quad, Oem Nos still with warranty tags Attachment: Se Quad.jpg [ 142.21 KiB | Viewed 6477 times ] |

Love the SE Quads, they're the perfect balance between Ugly and Pretty... I know this was posted a while ago but would love to see a full build of that! |

Thanks guys, I am debating building the quad, I think because it still retains the warranty tag, its probably more a show piece than something I would ride. What do you guys think? |

On reflection that is probably the more sensible option. it looks immaculate! really good display piece. |

I've thought about it a fair bit, but if ever that tag gets ripped of while riding, i would be devastated, where am I ever going to find a never ridden quad frame Ĺwith its warranty tag. Sacrilege I know really as its meant for riding. I have put a headset in and mounted the forks so it can be displayed better, bizarre to think its the first time they have been together in 35 years. |
