    That Skyway was an ultra bike back in the day ~ I had a Supergoose decked out with various custom parts. I still have a mid-80s GT 24" cruiser i'll take out for a spin now and again. :cool:

    Go with the Gyro. I personally like Rotors better, but they look strange on GT's. I should know, my GT Aggressor has a Rotor on it. It used to be the skyway, when the frame broke, I bought the GT frame & Fork.- UGLY bike for a long time-chrome with skyway blue parts. Slowly made it mostly chrome & black. Now I'm trying to redo it. Bought some Chrome Performer bars to replace the blue skyway bars, Have a GT disc to replace the skyway disc. Need a Gyro, headset, bottom Bracket, cranks, black pedals (to replace the blue skyway pedals) and new hubs for my Peregrine 48's. It should look like a real GT when its done.

    oh man, some of my best childhood memories come to mind when talk about bmx. In beginning when I could not afford a real bmx I had to get an old bike and remove all unnecceary parts. put on some gaffer taped foams and rode the streets like a devil. then finally I got myself a cheap bmx which was a Kettler (german brand). But I always wanted a GT, Diamondback or a Raleigh. And I always wanted that blue and white Haro pants. ahhhhhh,.............those where the days............ :cool:

    I had 2 GTs and a Diamondback.

    I also had a Hutch that 24 k gold plated, pedals, spokes and pegs lol. My grandma paid about $1200 for it back in the day. I wish I still had that bike.
