Be worth a fair bit in a few years, maybe even now..Considering the condition is brand new, very nice indeed.

Holy crap Ed! That's lovely.

Never realised Skyway made complete bikes.

How old is your brother?

My Condor is in the loft and has been for bloody years.

It has a chromoly teardrop frame and sits on red Skyway Tuff IIs. Also, Oakley grips and supportless layback stem among some other bits and bobs..

Should fix it up really. Bit big for it now though.

he is 32, he didnt buy it as a complete bike he bought the frame and forks first and bought the rest seperately, he said he may sell it eventually as he really wants a skyway t/a, but i reckon this looks just as good as a t/a

It's lovely. The colour scheme is great. Blue and white or red and white looks so fresh and crisp when in good nick.
