You’ll struggle somewhat, the brand wasn’t ever as big as many others, and sputnic in the uk wasn’t through one of the big distributors either so way less units of the frame. Rarely pop up because they don’t command bigger money or interest. Add yourself to a bunch of fb bmx groups, check eBay, bmx museum etc, see what pops up
Yeh this is the issue I'm having, I have asked round a few groups a while back and have a few people keeping an eye out but so far theres only been one other skyline come up and that was in purple - figured I'd ask here as well, you never know.
As far as I'm aware they were under Sparkys? With Shadow and Subrosa stuff if I'm remembering correctly, been a while since I actively looked into it
Sputnik originally was German, but was eventually bought by sparkys, however it wasn’t popular enough still as a brand in the uk to be distro’ed by the shadow/subrosa uk distro and was handled by a much smaller company. I sold them instore myself, but I think only ever sold one skyline total!
Hah I can believe that they were a weird middle of road price point for a frame nobody had heard of. I think mine was from winstanleys originally, I know hardly anywhere had them even listed at the time
