Skyway hub type introduction /I'D

BADDH:
Hi

A pal has bought some skyways off the bay , they are described as 80's   and he is a touch concerned  they have plastic hubs with loose bearings not the Alloy hubs he thought the 80's Skyways had fixed into them.

Can anyone help us I'D these please ?  :idiot2:

harris:
alloy and plastic in the 80s obviously alloy or steel as you thought but also plastic
they make them today .

BADDH:
Thanks  :daumenhoch:

picture or ebay link will also help to make sure they are not a new set of 2012 plastic hub skyways  ;)

MartyC:
Around 84 Skyway introduced a loose ball plastic front hubbed wheel with an alloy/coaster rear wheel.  Sealed bearing were introduced many years later and are what are widely sold today by Skyway.
