Hi. I picked up this Bridgestone/Kabuki Skyway 12 frame and fork for $20 off eBay:
It's a high-tensile steel frame, made sometime in the early-to-mid 80s. The frame geometry is well thought out - my 67cm frame has a nice, long 61.5cm top tube. Other large frames I have purchased have had top tubes that are way to short.
I am guessing these bikes are from the transition period, when the company name was going from Kabuki to Bridgeston, but I could be wrong. In any case, the Bridgestone/Kabuki I got is a great utility frame.
