Carlperkins Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 When you say changed? Do you mean sold and buy a skye? Or mke to look like a skye. If you mean make to look like a skye.. Dont bother, its gay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalRobbo341 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I guess you could, new forks, stem, bars?, drivechain, lighter wheels (if your bothered?), slimmer seat, and a front brake then yes! Then you could spray the appropriate parts if you wanted to do the full marathon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 You at the very least need long enough rigid forks to give it some minimal BB rise. Then you can think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Yeah... You might make it look like a Skye, but you'll not even get CLOSE to having it ride the same. Hugely different geometried frames. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompeyjay Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 No no no no no! I had a transition set up for street and park they're heavy and you need to run 26" forks to keep the geo alright. The dr jekyll worked incredibly well as a street bike! My advice look how it will cost to set up then look in classified and see how much the elements are going for!
