24inch Cruiser Skyway question
dinglem:
Ok lads, I know nothing about these at all. Am liking how they look though, so..... what did they produce BITD, what are the differences between original 80's items and the recent iterations? I have seen 'T' and 'H' spoke profiles mentioned. I am after red ideally. I'm assuming red originals will be tough to source?
dp and chopper dude:
I had a look at them on planet bmx and it says the following:
"This re-issue features the classic "T" spoke design, same as the 80's! 7-spokes per wheel, with Skyway's precision SEALED bearing hubs. Threaded freehub style to accept any freewheel 16 tooth or higher."
So it looks like the new ones are the same cross section as the originals. Plus they do them in red!
Here is the page I was looking at:

Dark Diggler:
There are many similarities, the main one being that new ones are just as shite as the 80's ones :daumenhoch:

I think they look pretty cool, well better than 24inch spoked rims anyway (not much if a Cruiser fan all round really if I'm honest). I've got one to build for next summer - literally just for cruising about on.... probably more the lanky wife than me, so thanks for the info so far :daumenhoch:
That pic of the chick on the Skyway Cruiser is what I have in my head! "wantit"

Nor was I until I rode the OM Flyer. No going back! Well, for now.
