Cheers Terry :daumenhoch:
who wants a smacked bottom first..? I come home from work and your all fighting amongst yourselves :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
Thanks for reminding me of the costs involved, Im fully aware of them, Im setting 2 or 3 years for this build so no rush
I thing the wheels and FF will be easy to get, Its some of the other smaller parts im concerned about
Im just doing research as and when things come up, Already had a conversation with chris and when he becomes my wife the wheels will be MINE...!!! ;D
I think BOB did just change the campy hub for a skyway coaster hub, or he got one of his mechanics to do it :crazy2:
Anyway onwards and upwards, you big bunch of GIRLS :D :daumenhoch:

Lee, this is a great thread from all angles. From the helpful comments, to the cynical and everything in between - it's a great read. I attempted to do a Hutch pro star build using as many genuine parts as possible, but finding an original crank and the costs involved put me off, and i'm not ashamed to admit it. It will now be between pro racer and pro star spec. The best of luck finding all the parts for this. I hope you can do it. :)
Back on the subject of skyways: Does anyone know the weight difference between a regular tuff wheel and a graphite one? Is it really that much? I have regular alloy hubbed tuffs on my T/A, and although I love them, they are bleedin heavy compared to the spoked wheels on my MT Fox and Peugeot - (both are araya/araya style alloy rims with suzue hubs & stainless steel spokes). Just wondering if skyway graphites do live up to the hype?... I know they were much stiffer, so less flex. Any other advantages?

alloy freewheel were 2lbs 10 oz front and 2 lbs 11 oz rear, just couple of ounces heavier than graphites :daumenhoch:
