How old are my skyways
delbert:
Afternoon
Thanks for the helpful replies chaps.
The main reason I am trying to identity how old these wheels are is because I need to find out which manufacture made my coaster brake as the shoes have been lost and I need to locate some replacements.

To me it makes a huge difference if thease are 1980s and one is building a 70s bike.

Now, now boys and girls :)
Steel hubs are from late 78 through to late 82 early 83 so would be perfect for a late 70's build. If an earlier 70's build you might want Tuff 1's, Moza has a set of blue ones he has just picked up :daumenhoch:
