Did anybody race with Skyways on BITD?

Google images show that Andy Patterson used them.  :daumenhoch:

My lasting memory of being at Brum WHEELS as a kid was when one of the guys there let me take his WHEELS out on the track - the only time I ever rode one back then. It had red Skyways on it, and mainly red components also. Considering they mainly ran skinnies it would have been quite a change. I still don't know who the owner was, but I'd still love to recreate that bike that i have had pictured in my head for all these years.

I think if i ever eventually locate a Pro frame i'll go for it and recreate that build... maybe with a set of spokes for 'best'  8)

I think if you look at some period race pics you will see the odd rider with Skyways in there.

I did, for a bit, then changed to a set of 7x, I was shit on both!!!

Thanks for sharing lads ... I searched my massive pile of old school mags but struggled to find pictures of racers using tuffs ...

Was this around 80-2 or did you ride them in 83 or 84 ? Just asking out of curiosity ... Had all riders seen the lightness of the wire wheel by then and switched?

What the hell was it about Hotshot and Tuffs Tony?  When I started riding for them, they wanted me to run Skyways, I was racing on 1 3/8" skinnies at the time  :LolLolLolLol:
