Jaw Drop!... 
In the 80's, I was riding the streets with Eric (Hutch), Jamie (GT), Jody (JMC), & Ronnie (Diamond Back). North Hollywood, CA to The Teen Center in Van Nuys, CA. The best LBS was The Pedal Shop, where I bought my first & only JMC frame, forks, & parts for my very first build...

Re: 2012 Skyway T/A XL 24
Thanks guys, a lot of thought went into how I was going to build this one and I think it's my best build yet. Can't wait to get my chrome f/f and get it built up and take side by side pics!!

It's an Amber BB, but couldn't find a website for them. I believe I bought if off Amazon cause I was having a hard time finding a red Euro BB that wasn't an outboard.
Here's a link to a company that sells them.
