Retro TA chez Skyway ?
Posté : 08 mars 2007, 14:39
Vu sur Vintage, un post d'Ed Ferri (ColoredTuffs), qui semble nous annoncer d'excitantes nouvelles (en 20 et 24" !) :
DISCLAIMER!- The following info is really very premature, so this is NOT an official "press-release", but rather a "Here's what we've been talking about" follow-up to the subject.
As a fellow member of the VintageBMX community I am placing this info here, under this topic, because I know some of you are super-psyched about this, and want to know the latest developments on this....
So..... Here we go!
I had a meeting with the 4 owners of Skyway yesterday. ONE topic was building a new, retro inspired Skyway T/A frame, with modern geometry.
Now, as a bit of back-story...... Skyway, although they have moved on to produce mainly non-BMX related items, is a company that loves their roots, which is BMX. From the moment you open the front door of the factory, every wall and office in the building has some kind of Skyway BMX related item. From trophies, to posters, to original blueprint drawings, Skyway still shows off how much they love BMX! (and guys- don't bother calling them about any of it- none of it is for sale!)
OK... back to the story.... As we discussed building a new T/A, you can feel new energy and excitement from the guys as we discussed things in detail.
Two hours later they gave me the thumbs up to prepare both a 20" and a 24" T/A prototype!
We'll make an official announcement once the prototypes have been made, and were all happy about the design!
Hold on to your horses.... we're gonna start working on the 25th Anniversary T/A's!! Stay tuned!
